I could see potential value in the semi-embedded device space.
3D printers are an area where I've been kind of expecting Rust to eventually take hold. Printers require fairly performant systems level firmware but the trend is toward users interacting with them pretty much entirely via webui.
Right now, Klipper is one of the more popular 3DP firmwares. It's a mishmash of Python and C at the firmware layer with Moonraker (Python) sitting at the API layer and then some soft of JS-based UI like Mainsail or Fluidd sitting on top.
I can see very real appeal to squashing the firmware and API layers down into a more coherent stack. Having a batteries included web framework would be helpful there.
