Are there really that many use cases in web development where you absolutely can not live with just using a language with automatic garbage collection?

I can see maybe using Rust for some performance critical parts but for the daily CRUD or API? I don't get how you could justify using it. (In a professional context that is, if it's just for fun, go ahead, of course.)

There are so many amazing backend-languages with huge ecosystems be it Elixir, PHP, Golang, Node or whatever you favorite poison may be. You would miss out on so much productivity.

Rust is amazing but it solves a very specific problem while most of the software world is better off using garbage collected languages.
