I feel like there is an assumption here that solving the problems described will result in a worse outcome for the average rust user, but I'm not sure that's the case. Perhaps the existing way of compilation makes sense for release mode, but a different tact could be taken for compilation modes which are optimized for developer productivity.

I agree with the sentiment that you can't solve for everyone, but if a problem is prevelant in your userbase, it's worth optimizing for solving it. Not every tool will be used the way it was designed to be used.
