I will add that I have used several rust-based packages over the last
several years, both as part of dabbling a bit with the language's unusual
features and as part of a decades long side-interest in reimplementations
of the Unix/Posix "standard user and developer toolset" (that started with
getting GNU on early SVR4 systems and has also included "rewrite everything
in perl", at least 4 different versions of  unix-y toolchain for Windows, 3
of same for macOS, and busybox). I've never used the nightly (or beta)
toolchain for any of these, and have never needed to do so.

I hope that helps,
