Rust 101
There is also rust-script[1] which runs "Rust files and expressions as scripts without any setup or compilation step." I wrote a data loader[2] in it for my Observable Framework project and have been very happy with its performance and overall ease including hot-reloading.

How to convince my boss that Rust is usable
To address your concerns about non-trivial building process making Rust less suitable for small scripts : https://rust-script.org/ Work is actively being done. (not by me)

I made a scriptable spaced repetition CLI with Rust and Rhai!
I started this as a little script made with rust-script, which took only a few hours to mock up, and then I was able to refactor the core logic into a much larger scriptable system over only about a day. And, Rust being Rust, it worked first time once I got it compiling! Also, I have to say, having a full-blown custom scripting engine just work is a novelty coming from web programming, and Rhai is a great choice if you need this sort of functionality in your own projects!

Organizing a large collection of Rust "scripts"?
Use rust-script ! Instead of having a folder for each script, your script could be a single file, just like you would in python. Then you can put all the files in a single directory with a readme describing the functionality and use-case of each script.

Pre-RFC: `cargo-script` for everyone
In case you didn't notice in the Prior Art section, rust-script is the most actively maintained descendant of cargo-script (from which the cargo-eval crate is forked as well).
-
Rust tech stack
Someone even wrote https://rust-script.org/ to make that "shell scripting using Rust" use-case more convenient.

would you use rust for scripting?
Is rust-script close enough?
-
Why is Rust always advertised as system programming not general purpose programming?
That may have been more of the originator of the idea, but what I believe I had used was rust-script, looking into it more. That one isn't maintained.

Why are so many important features not in standard library yet?
There's enough disagreement over personal taste that there are various repositories (eg. my CLI boilerplate vs. Rust Starter) but none especially dominant.

Rust for simple tasks
I put together this project boilerplate but, now, I'm exploring building a set of Vim snippets so I can use rust-script as my starting point and migrate to the project boilerplate later.

Best way to handle verbose/optional output in a CLI program?
I use stderrlog with the log facade, as can be seen in my CLI boilerplate.

rust-starter: boilerplate to build Rust CLI applications
Hmm. I'll have to see what of that I can borrow for mine when I have time to work on it again.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rust-script and rust-cli-boilerplate you can also consider the following projects:
cargo-script - Cargo script subcommand
rust-starter - Rust Starter Project
evcxr
env_logger - A logging implementation for `log` which is configured via an environment variable.
dotfiles - My configuration files and personal collection of scripts.
log - Logging implementation for Rust
rust-analyzer - A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs [Moved to: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer]
weather_bandit - Dragon App (Weather bandit a personal weather forecast expert with a mask)
cargo-script - Cargo script subcommand
Weld - Full fake REST API generator written with Rust
