it feels like there’s a smaller language hiding in Rust that’s half as powerful at the edges but 10-50x easier to read, write, and maintain

Comparing a language using garbage collection to one tackling the hard problem of providing memory safety without it doesn't make much sense. Rust is a low-level systems programming language while Go is in a different niche. If you don't need a low-level language, don't use Rust.
By the way, Go isn't memory safe either, since it has data races (like Java, unlike Rust) and doesn't prevent them from causing memory corruption (unlike Java) due to not designing it with statically verified safety for this or paying the performance cost of doing it dynamically.

I agree with everything you said except "don't use rust" part.

"If you don't need a low-level language, don't use Rust." is far different than saying "don't use Rust". If you need a low-level language, use Rust. If you don't, use a high-level language offering more productivity, less friction and quicker development turnaround times.
