I don't have strong opinions in either direction about Zig. But there's clear empirical evidence that Rust has a successful C interop story[1][2][3].

And note: browsers are the pathological case, in terms of build system integrations, global state assumptions, C++, etc.

(Your other complaints have a place, and don't seem unreasonable to me. But they're empirically not impediments to Rust's interop story.)
