How much more performance do you need to get from Rust over Python (even Cython, PyPy, Numba, etc) to justify the extra development cost?
A 2x gain is certainly not worth it. A 10x gain? Maybe. But that is hard to achieve when much of your "compute" is spent on the DB side of things. How many startups actually scale out of needing a few non-db instances?
