But the bin nmu issue is a huge deal. I'm not sure for your case. But Rust is statically linked, and so it is more likely than average to need bin nmus. So if your packages will need to be rebuilt when their dependencies change (I am not sure if this is true for packages just containing crate source code), then moving from arch any to arch all makes things significantly more difficult for SRM, RT, security team, and people doing QA woork. I'd definitely recommend reaching out to Adrian Bunk on this issue. If on the other hand your packages aren't going to need to be rebuilt when their dependencies change, it may not be a big deal.
