If it allows for alternative design patterns that are simpler then I think it's a win in the end. For example pattern matching is great when writer parsers as an alternative to going the visitor pattern route.
Pattern matching has finally made it out of ML land and getting increasingly implemented in mainstream languages. I'm not sure if Rust is the main driver here, but I'm glad to see it.
