I've seen comments like this before[1], and I get the impression that building a a safe async Rust library around io_uring is actually quite difficult. Which is sort of a bummer.

IIRC Alice from the tokio team also suggested there hasn't been much interest in pushing through these difficulties more recently, as the current performance is "good enough".

I think the right way to build a safe interface around io_uring would be to use ring-owned buffers, ask the ring for a buffer when you want one, and give the buffer back to the ring when initiating a write.
