I can only quote (from the top of my head) the Android team's findings, that having a C++ codebase extended with Rust cut down significantly on the number of memory safety-related issues. The reasoning was that since the stable C++ codebase was no longer actively changed, only patched, and new features were implemented in Rust, the C++ codebase could go through this stabilization phase where almost all safety issues are found.
