No, you still get the benefits where it matters.

The "unsafe" is basically marking a boundary where you're doing things outside of what the compiler can verify. If you're poking at hardware registers, that's expected and normal.

Putting "unsafe" in a program at the hardware boundary doesn't reduce the benefits of Rust elsewhere in the program.
