My experience with that verbosity is:

* its annoying to write, good tooling helps (e.g. using the rust-analyzer in an lsp enabled editor)

* it's a godsend when revisiting code months/years later, and in reading unfamiliar code.

Some languages have verbosity for it's own sake, but I don't really see rust as one of those - most of it actually inform the reader about what's going on without a need to go track down all sorts of info elsewhere to understand what effects any given line will have.
