Good introduction to Rust in Linux by some of the developers that are doing the work: https://security.googleblog.com/2021/04/rust-in-linux-kernel.html … (disclosure, I helped a tiny bit with the C examples...)

Isn't it a problem that Rust doesn't have some kind of LTS support version? Which version of the Rust compiler would the kernel support?
what version of what compiler does the kernel support in the LTS releases today? In other words, I think you are worrying about things that are not an issue :)

The real issue however is that Rust is order of magnitude more complex than C. Difficult to see why this is being considered for a kernel.

Because it's safer than C.

C89 is still supported but Rust 1.30 is not supported anymore. And code written for Rust 1.30 might not compiler with rust 1.50.

There is no guarantee that a new version of gcc will build an old version of Linux (the opposite is almost always true), so there's no change here at all. And if you think that the kernel is "standard C", I have a bridge to sell you...
