Don't most of the benefits just come down to using a statically typed and thus compiled language? Be it Java, Go or C++; TypeScript is trickier, because it compiles to JavaScript and inherits some issues, but it's still fine.

I know that Rust provides some additional compile-time checks because of its stricter type system, but it doesn't come for free - it's harder to learn and arguably to read

No. Other languages don't prevent concurrency related bugs like the one in the article. Rust has reference aliasing rules and lifetimes and send and sync traits. These things do not exist in Java and others, so will not prevent such bugs
