Now, the Matrix Foundation has decided to use Rust to improve bits and pieces of their Gen 1 Home Server - Synapse. The server itself is still largely in Python though. That being said, some of the improvements to the performance of Synapse based home servers can partly be attributed to the usage of Rust.
As Matthew said at the end of the presentation, please do consider donating to the Matrix Foundation if you have leveraged their technology or their services. You can find links to Donorbox, Liberapay and Patreon, along with BTC/ETH addresses on their homepage.
Another important piece of the ecosystem for which Rust was used is the SDK. This new SDK was used to write the newest mobile client - Element X. The current Element client will also see its cryptography implementation being changed from Javascript to Rust, this was also made possible by the new Rust based SDK.
Third Room, which is basically a virtual reality space built using C that leverages Matrix and runs natively in your browser through WASM. I'd recommend anyone that is interested to checkout the video for more details. It's an interesting presentation.
Pinecone, which is an experimental overlay routing protocol used by P2P Matrix. It and Dendrite are extremely important to P2P Matrix.
