You can still do that. Just install the Rust (or any other language) plugin to IntelliJ. You can essentially build your own "jack of all trades" IDE if you want to.

Unfortunately debugging Rust (or C/C++ programs for that matter) is limited to CLion even if you have an IDEA Ultimate license. I don't know why.

I have an all products license so it's not a blocker but I wish they would just make ultimate, truly ultimate.

But then it would be a lowest common denominator type thing, or a "Homer Simpson car"

I just want to automatically share my transferable preferences between IDEs

If you mean between Jetbrains IDEs, you can. It's called Settings Sync in the settings menu.
I didn't know they had added this. I just took a look and seems it was added in 2022.3. That's still relatively recent, fwiw. I'm still on 2022.2 for Intellij (because of how they bundle their kotlin plugin), but this will solve my problem with Rider and Goland for the next few months,
They had something similar called Settings Repository for 8+ years before they switched to Settings Sync. You could also just sync the settings directory yourself using git, rsync, Dropbox, etc.
This is not true, Rust debugging is available in Ultimate as per documentation https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8182--deprecated-rust/d... CLion just had more debugging options.
