Rust the language, certainly. But if you're not one, will you get help from the community when you need it? For that matter, is "libtard" dire enough to describe said community?
There's also reputational danger unless you do it anonymously (and manage to pull that off perfectly). Will some dangerhair try to cancel you for crimethink? Will you have to think extra hard about, for example, your function and variable naming (here I'm assuming FOSS code)?
I don't have much of a dog in this fight, having used C since around the release of V7 so I know it cold, and favoring GC managed runtime languages for almost all of what I do today, but this alone makes it too dangerous in my eyes.
