Even more importantly than this, Rust has a major emphasis on backwards compatibility. The author mentions a "hamster wheel" of endless libraries, but, in Rust, nothing's forcing you to switch to a newer library, even if an old one is no longer maintained.

In general, the complexity of your project is completely up to you, and (at least to me) it seems like a lot of the new features (e.g. generator syntax) are trending towards simplicity rather than complexity.
