First steps with Embedded Rust: Selecting a board
I would say yes. If you get something like a BBC micor:bit you'll be able to run the microbit examples straight out if the box.

Embedded Rust is so good
As for documentation on low level stuff, it's not there but there are "hidden gems". E.g. something like https://github.com/riscv-rust/riscv-rust-quickstart although it is board specific. It'd be nice of we could come up with something more generic for these.
