That depends. If, for you, safety is something relative and imperfect rather than absolute, guaranteed and reliable, then - the answer is that once you have the first non-trivial unsafe block that has not gotten standard-library-level of scrutiny. But if that's your view, you should not be all that starry-eyed about how "Rust is a safe language!" to begin with.
On the other hand, if you really do want to rely on Rust's strong safety guarantees, then the answer is: From the moment you use any library with unsafe code.
My 2 cents, anyway.
