There are architectural concerns. Even when Rust proponents and cultists try to harass unrelated projects into submission, as they are wont to do.

TS decision to choose Go was primarily, because they could take the existing code and do a near 1-1 translation. You can frame that as an architectural concern, but it's really only one that applies when your attempting to migrate an existing program to a new language. The Go rewrite has some negative outcomes as well, most concerning is the performance of the WASM builds is worse than the old JS/TS version.

A TS compiler from scratch built in Rust would be fine.

The cult is in your imagination.
