RaspberryPi Now Playing Dashboard using last.fm data and Airplay receiver
The last.fm site will work independently from airplay, so it will display whatever is playing, even if you are not using airplay to stream to your pi. Because it is just a standard Raspberry Pi OS running, you could also set it up as a MPD client https://linuxhint.com/raspberry-pi-music-station-mpd/ or https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify. As long as you are submitting music to last.fm the song will display.

For Spotify Connect on a Pi I can recommend Raspotify:

On the other hand, this Rust-based one called Psst looks awesome and works: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

This is the best Linux has ever been. Truly.
Psst but currently very limited in features and have to build yourself.

Flatpak Spotify vs Tab in Firefox browser
Would like to add that you can also use clients such as spotify-qt and Spotify TUI to control said "device". There's also Spot and psst that are standalone (librespot not required but no Connect functionality).

Rust audio library
You can also take a look at Psst. I use Symphonia for decoding and CPAL or CubeB for output. CubeB is a bit nicer.

Druid app for public transport data
There‘s a Spotify client, psst, which has an Async widget (with a Promise state struct) that works very well for loading states etc. That project has a bunch of other tidbits and interesting patterns for Druid, I learned a ton from the code.

Advice for the next dozen Rust GUIs
Not that I'm in any way suggesting that you have to have to pursue this, but I'd suggest that not having this as a goal is why it hasn't happened. I've seen apps built with Druid (like https://github.com/jpochyla/psst) and they look great. But when I looked into the documentation, I was really struggling to get started. In contrast, libraries like Iced are quite limited in what they can do and are not as architecturally sound as Druid, but seem to have put more effort into the onboarding experience and documentation for beginners (see also: the effort that Rust itself puts into being beginner friendly, and how that has enabled it jump into the mainstream where other similar languages have remained niche).
