Personally, I think that C#/.NET is much less complicated than Rust and more powerful than Go. It comes with some drawbacks as well - not gonna lie.
The main reason why C#/.NET can be viable in that space is AoT. Without AoT the startup performance (as well as runtime requirements) is killing the whole idea.
AoT, on the other hand, comes with some challenges. Some libraries cannot be used or require some work to be integrated. Hence, some of the flexibility of .NET cannot be used.
