Yes, of course. Unless you absolutely have known working pristine code free of side-channels for SHA3, ChaCha20-Poly1305, etc. don't even think about it.

The same goes for parsing and other complicated operations containing pitfalls.

Honestly, I hope most crypto, parsing, numerics libs, and OS kernels and drivetd were rewritten in Rust and given C, C++, etc. interfaces.
