Go has had to rollback on that decision.

Rust while much safer, also needs care if any crate makes use of unsafe, even in pure Rust.

Yes it is in the libc bindings, but the logic error is on Rust side.

That story seems to be about missing code/functionality, more than anything about a vulnerability. There is way more unsafe out there than there should be. Bindings are are one of the very few cases that must have it.
