I gather you are aware of Deis Labs history, Microsoft acquisition and such, do you want other CNCF companies that have pivoted into Rust?

But there is a library by them to build containerd shims with which is maintained: https://github.com/containerd/runwasi

Let's just entertain the idea and pretend that this is a notable project and that one would count it as DevOps tooling. Here are the top 10 across the CNCF in terms of size, courtesy of GitHub's API:

    C++: 3195829832
    Java: 2908175049
    Go: 2005598094
    C: 1225503783
    Python: 931070259
    LLVM: 594277917
    C#: 484071185
    Rust: 460427159
    TypeScript: 428904119
    JavaScript: 273074800

This is the best-case scenario, including irrelevant categories like databases and VMMs that ought to be written in Rust (or C++).

As far as Microsoft itself goes, they have a new push to ~~lock-in~~ embrace and extend cloud customers:

As far as recent projects that gained traction with the CNCF go, I found some nice write-ups:

    Go: 30
    Rust: 4 (once to implement another lang)
    Python: 2
    Java: 1
    and 2 that are mixed (Go+{C,Rust})

Fun fact, one of the 30 is Eraser - by Deis Labs.
