Continuous Looper
From my experience also building a live looper in rust (https://github.com/mwylde/loopers):

Have you looked into loopers? I'm curious what you're doing differently.

What do you think is the next major direction for Rust adoption?
The potential is both in terms of moving away from proprietary corporate-controlled standards (but also still providing shared wrappers to support those "legacy" :) audio plugin formats) and supporting Rust as a first class development language (via e.g. https://github.com/robbert-vdh/nih-plug).

Seeking: Non GPL - VST3 basic API support
Yep, Steinberg licensing sucks. I suggest you use nih-plug, it has a much nicer Rust API and supports generating both VST3 and CLAP plugins from your code. I'm only targetting CLAP nowadays, but unfortunately not many DAW's support it.

Is it possible to create a VST that wraps around a standalone Java program, launching it as a separate process?
Since I seem to be stuck in turning the Java program into a VST, is it instead possible to create a separate program that is a VST using C++ (e.g. with JUCE) or Rust (e.g. with nih-plug) that starts my Java synth as a separate process and communicates via localhost or pipes and just forwards any inputs to the synths, as well as recieving any audio data generated?

I'm a (kinda) new programmer with some questions
If you want to make a CLAP audio plugin, you should use nih-plug, as it's a higher level library that supports vst and clap bindings. Also check out rust.audio

Uses of Rust and C++ that only one has?
At least, https://github.com/robbert-vdh/nih-plug already gives many features for developing VST and CLAP. I know, it's not JUCE, and maybe it even doesn't want to be like JUCE in terms of GUI building blocks, but it makes very promising progress.

Multiband FX-4
This free one exists, although I haven't personally used it https://github.com/robbert-vdh/nih-plug/tree/master/plugins/crossover

OctaSine (free and open source FM synth) v0.8.1: Apple Silicon support, performance improvements, bug fixes
HexoSynth is another working example, using nih-plug instead of the vst crate I use.

VST3 in Rust?
https://github.com/robbert-vdh/nih-plug is probably the best place to start for audio plugins in Rust, I think.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing loopers and nih-plug you can also consider the following projects:
augmented-audio - Rust - Augmented Audio Libraries
cargo-limit - Cargo with less noise: warnings are skipped until errors are fixed, Neovim integration, etc.
vst3-sys - Raw Bindings to the VST3 API
kak-lsp - Kakoune Language Server Protocol Client
vst3-rs - Easy to use VST3 library for Rust
bonsai - A library for building dynamic webapps, using Js_of_ocaml
clap-imgui - Minimal example of prototyping CLAP audio plugins using Dear ImGui as the user interface.
vst-rs - VST 2.4 API implementation in rust. Create plugins or hosts. Previously rust-vst on the RustDSP group.
baseplug - MVC audio plugin framework for rust
cxx-qt - Safe interop between Rust and Qt
JUCE - JUCE is an open-source cross-platform C++ application framework for desktop and mobile applications, including VST, VST3, AU, AUv3, RTAS and AAX audio plug-ins.
