mlua
High level Lua 5.4/5.3/5.2/5.1 (including LuaJIT) and Luau bindings to Rust with async/await support
This is already available as an optional Lua target in mlua [0]. I recently built a programmable server for Server-Sent Events scriptable with Lua [1]. I chose Lua 5.4, but it's trivial to switch it to LuaJIT, or really any other Lua derivative including Roblox Luau. It's just a matter of enabling the mlua feature you want.

Lua supports most of this primarily through community packages. luarocks is the Lua package manager. Lua does not ship with a unit testing framework by default, but the community seems to have selected luaunit as the defacto testing library. LSP and linting support is provided through the lua-language-server and code formatting is handled through stylua. However, I can't find tooling similar to Python's bandit to perform security audits. I believe this to be an open area of Lua library development.
