As it sounds like it is a true filesystem, it could be a nice upgrade assuming feature parity (one gotcha with git-annex, is since it is using git, you can’t easily have other git repositories inside of it).
Rust’s cargo is great, I’d say it would be best to make the switch sooner rather than later once your code base is established. The build system and tooling alone is a great reason to switch
