For me, dealing with something written in Rust is less painful than dealing with something with bindings for Rust, and honestly I'd consider rewriting something for that reason. And that's the case for nearly any language.
For example, I rewrote `tar` in JavaScript because I wanted to use it in the browser, and I didn't want to fiddle with trying to compile the existing project to JS. It took me a weekend and it worked pretty well for the project I needed it for. That project has since died (completely redesigned), but the tar stuff still works.
These days I'm getting lazy, so for something like git, I'll often exec out to the CLI app instead of fiddling with bindings, especially if it's not a performance-critical part of my app. However, I'd definitely look for a rewrite first and clean bindings second to use as a lib, especially if the rewrite had a suitable license (anything not copyleft).
