Writing new graphics drivers in Rust will definitely be helpful, and is starting to happen.

The safety of LLVM and GCC need not be a priority... they're not normally exposed to untrusted input. Also, it's a particularly hard area because the safety of generated code matters just as much as the safety of the compiler itself. However Cranelift is an interesting option.

No silver bullet here unfortunately... but writing new infrastructure in C or C++ should mostly be illegal.

Yeah, but API surface also needs to change for it to actually work.
