I like Rust, but I don't understand why "OS written in [language]" is a compelling goal within itself. Like an OS absolutely needs goals and a target demographic to be useful, and it doesn't feel like simply existing to show that a language can do it is enough.
Plus if I was going to fund a toy research kernel that aims to increase security, I'd go whole-hog and bring Singularity OS[0] back from the dead, because at least that plays with new ideas and tested the limits of what was thought to be possible.
