The two imaginary futures I daydream about where performance is a concern are robotics and serious AI algorithms (RL especially). I'd assumed I'd need serious C (or C++) chops for the embedded development of the first, and real access to GPU parallelism for the second.

Does anybody have experiences to share using Rust like this?

No direct experience here, but I know there is Vulkano[1], a Rust library that wraps around the Vulkan API. But until (and if) a SPIR-V target is available to the Rust compiler, the compute shaders will still have to be programmed in another language (typically, GLSL). This covers the GPU side of your interest.

I don’t know how things stand in the embedded Rust camp, however.
