I'm also desperate to stop Rust by any means, but I don't think you're correct; I think the sticking point for language adoption is the presence or absence of a big npm clone.

You can't invisibly watermark an arbitrary character (I did it to one above! If this website isn't stripping them, try it out in the provided decoder and you'll see) with unrecognized PUA characters, because it won't treat them as combining characters. You will cause separately rendered rendered placeholder-box characters to appear. Like this one: (may not be a placeholder-box if you're privately-using the private use area yourself).

Slow? Jetbrains IDEs, slow? Compared to, of all things, the LSP-reliant VS Code?
I pay for them primarily to save me from LSP, which they do for many languages, though the Elixir plugin is not by Jetbrains (but it actually predates LSP itself).
Why are programmers so vehemently angry over the fact that a complex tool which does complex things to a complex data structure might have some complexity to it?
It's the de facto tool for our industry. For the vast majority of cases, users bear the burden of that complexity without gaining much benefit. And (at least for me) it doesn't guarantee the one thing I need it to do - make sure I can never lose progress.
switch/restore are not experimental in that sense, they're experimental in the sense that they're not guaranteed stable so don't rely on them for scripts or something (I occasionally tell myself I should adopt them and get them stabilized, but then don't do it)
It was experimental to allow the developers to tweak UI, including breaking backward compatibility if needed. But I left Git shortly after these were added. I guess nobody picked this up to finish the job (even by just removing the experimental status, since nothing has changed for years and I assume nobody complained about them).
You deploy complex proprietary heuristics to identify whether incoming requests look more like an attack or more like something a user would legitimately send. If you find a new heuristic and try to deploy it, you'll immediately notice if it throws a bunch of false positives for Chrome, but you might not notice so quickly for Pale Moon or other non-mainstream browsers.
(And if I were doing this on my own, rather than trusting Cloudflare to do it, I would almost surely decide that I don't care enough about Pale Moon users to fix an otherwise good rule that's blocking them as a side effect.)
Things like "using Linux" or "having an adblocker at all" get you sent to captcha hell. Anything where you're in the minority of traffic. It's not going to change; why would it?
Things are going to chance. Unfortunately, things are only getting worse.
CAPTCHAs are barely sufficient against bots these days. I expect the first sites to start implementing Apple/Cloudflare's remote attestation as a CAPTCHA replacement any day now, and after that it's going to get harder and harder to use the web without Official(tm) Software(tm).
Using Linux isn't what's getting you blocked. I use Linux, and I'm not getting blocked. These blocks are the results of a whole range of data points, including things like IP addresses.
For what it's worth, this has been my experience as well. I've seen maybe a handful of full-page Cloudflare walls over the past year, and none have gotten me stuck in any kind of loop
For me, captcha hell is very random, and when it happens, it's things like "pick all squares with stairs" where I have to decide if that little corner of a stairway counts (and it never seems to) or "pick all squares with motorcycles" where the camera seemed to have a vision problem.
What usually works for me is to close the browser, reload, and try again.
