How important is process separation if the browser engine is programmed with a memory safe language like Rust? I am under the impression that things like site separation are to bandage memory safety issues. Is that right, or are there other issues at play?

Rust does not give you protection against speculative execution attacks. Entirely different beast than memory safety errors.
