To be honest, because Cargo is good it makes me not want to leave it behind for something like Bazel.

If Cargo existed, people would not have developed interesting build systems like Meson and Ninja- and especially not Bazel which really leans in to fixing C++'s build issues.

In some cases, worse is better.

I don't think you can do dependent builds with cargo.

Like build a sub-target using say wasm-pack to then embed the output into a binary. IIRC it gets upset because the cargo lock is already acquired or something.
