I agree! The main point: it's hard to move away from — that is indeed so and it's very important when you're using it commercially, as for other disadvantages — they have their counterparts in other languages, the article even gives a few examples of those.
One other thing that strikes me: indeed, it has very opinionated defaults and your code is to be error-prone if you're writing it just by looking at others' code, which is important for junior devs…

Indeed, the compiler doesn't warn you about shit… But in case with Rust you're in some cases doing things in a very inefficient way just to make the compiler SHUT THE FUCK UP — because you feel that re-writing it in an idiomatic way for Rust might make your head explode 🤯
All in all, nothing is perfect, the article is absolutely right about that.
