see? learn Rust, but yeah, also learn Zig, or whatever new flavor of the day. No thanks. I don't want my tool set to change every year. I got out of web dev exactly for that reason. I'll stick to my C++ or C, thanks.
History has demonstrated over and over and over again that c/c++ code above a certain complexity threshold (which is fairly low), _will_ have memory safety issues. It doesn't matter how good you are at engineering.
FYI, the fact that you can do poor software engineering in safe Rust (or any memory-safe language) and still do not have memory safety issues completely disproves your statement.
