Really good points.

I think the order in my case will definitely be customer experience first. And for the the rest of the points, we are looking at something similar already, limited user access initially, only one platform perhaps.

On your last point, reusing code among platforms, I was looking into Rust, it seems there isn't yet a good way to share Rust code. I have found https://kotlinlang.org/lp/mobile/ which looks interesting.

Yeah, Kotlin multiplatform is the most promising cross platform solution because it explicit leaves the UI fully native. With Rust you'd leverage C based FFI(with a layer to communicate with Swift and Kotlin), it's not the most streamlined experience. One big benefit of building a Rust core with C FFI is that it can be used virtually everywhere.
