There's the abi_stable crate, which provides safe ffi between shared libraries and applications, I also made a simple example (only using the libloading crate), it's as fast as it can be, since there's no extra overhead, but it's not ffi safe and a small change in any of the vtables (traits) can cause segfaults (you can add a version check though)

Most similar - rdylib(very unstable)/cdylib (usable) But there are efforts to create frameworks for building own plugin systems, like this one for example https://github.com/VPlugin/VPlugin

I've made a little library for working with plugins before. It's just a thin wrapper over libloading, making the thing a little bit more safe and convenient. Maybe you'll find it useful. Allows to load dynamic libraries. https://github.com/megahomyak/pluginator

(Also, there's https://github.com/megahomyak/rust_plugin_fuckery, where I experimented with plugin reloading)
