I've seen comments like this before[1], and I get the impression that building a a safe async Rust library around io_uring is actually quite difficult. Which is sort of a bummer.
IIRC Alice from the tokio team also suggested there hasn't been much interest in pushing through these difficulties more recently, as the current performance is "good enough".
