Plus, there's rust-analyzer/LSP. It works in real-time, and catches basically everything one might care about, no compiler needed. It's kind of like a static interpreter.

My use cases are modest, but so far, once r-a was happy, the compiler was as well. Mileage might vary when using crate features, possibly? Inactive features are (until Rust 1.72 at least) invisible to the compiler so issues might arise only at compile-time there.

The first one is a false dichotomy though. It's not like people write fast but incorrect tests whenever given a keyboard.
