Not sure if you’re aware but in Rust there’s no dependency hell. Component A can depend on version X of a library and component B can depend on incompatible version Y and you can still link in components A & B into your program without any hassle/correctness/safety issues. That doesn’t solve the “but I want to upgrade to the latest version & for it to be compatible” but that’s typically an untenable position in any environment when relying on OSS - perhaps try to work out arrangements with those projects if possible to backport fixes instead if it’s that mission critical or live with developing processes to stay on top of updates like the rest of us?
