Depends on the codebase. If one of those things could qualitatively improve my codebase - for instance, by introducing GPGPU support and speeding everything up by an order of magnitude - I very well might. Ultimately, it's a cost-benefit calculation that has to be done for every individual case, it's not something you can answer in the abstract. None of the language features of Rust can offer a similar level of advantage, except perhaps in cases where (limited) static guarantees of certain kinds of memory safety are of critical importance.
