Not learning Rust or C (what it's replacing in this context) will probably not seriously dent your career prospects unless your career is already in systems programming.

Learning a language people do systems programming in can be a good experience but it doesn't need to be Rust for you to get that experience.

If you want to learn Rust because you want to, that's fair too.
