Out of all the things listed, dependency tree and compile times are the most problematic things I face in Rust projects. As stated at the very end of the article, if you need tighter feedback loop, you might be happier with other languages.

I do feel weird about a major chunk of this article dedicated to ORMs; I guess people think they are still worthwhile, somehow.

A lot of this is still because rust is young. We want a competitive ecosystem so we don’t want to create victors just yet. For web id say follow things in the tokio project for the most cohesion. Tokio ORM runtime and web framework. It all works pretty well together

I don't think it's age. For some reason most languages don't end up having an ORM like Django's that does the entire setup from schema declaration to automated migrations (forward and backwards) to a memorable and powerful query API. JavaScript for example you'd expect to have at least one ORM that does all this given its relationship with the web but you'd be wrong.
