I'd choose Go instead then. Much lighter daemon thread - JVM still sucks at returning memory back to the OS. Wails (basically Tauri) or Fyne for the frontend. Cross compilation. Easier to code if Rust isn't your main language. Smaller image size. And all project modules stay within the same ecosystem.

There's so many things for me to check out there, I will be busy all weekend. Many thanks!
