I have rarely encountered issues in rust. Most rust crates stick to semver so you know when there will be a breaking change. My rust experience with Cargo can only be described as problem free(though I only develop for x86 linux).
As for pip freeze and virtualenv things start to fall apart especially quickly when you require various C/C++ dependencies (which in various parts of the ecosystem is a lot) as well as different python versions (if you are supporting any kind of legacy software). This is also assuming other people working on the same project have the same python yadda yadda the list goes on, its not great.

Yes 100 times. That can be incredibly frustrating. During the last year I've used a large (and rapidly evolving) C++ project (with many foss C/C++ dependencies) with Python bindings. We've collectively wasted sooo many hours on dependency issues in the team.
Long compilation times contribute considerably to slow down the feedback loop when debugging the issues.
