The list includes, from my reading, modules, errors, asynchronicity, side-effect types, fancy linting, and formalization. Elements 1, 2, and 5 exist in some sense in almost every area of engineering, while 3 and 6 are easily ignored if you don't need them. That leaves side-effects, the old bugbear of all functional programming.
The difficulty with Rust is that it's "batteries not included", which is a term we use in software for the equivalent of a car sold with no wheels, body panels or seats. Sure there's a package manager, there's also an auto parts catalog.
