Vscode (and vscodium) is not really an IDE but an advanced and extensible text editor. You know what is also an advanced and extensible text editor? Neovim

Neovim works well for me. If you want to get some IDE-like features out of the box you can try AstroNvim https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim. I also use rust-tools for some extra features: https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim. Customizing Neovim might be scary at first, but there are lots of resources to learn from and you can basically do anything you want with it.

An IDE is one of those things that earns itself back very quickly imo. If I compare my hourly rate to what a yearly subscription of intellij costs it's a no-brainer
It's on the lighter side, but Kate supports LSP. I've used it with a different compiled language (I didn't do much, but did have different compilation commands). Also note that I don't actually use KDE so that has nothing to do with it.

Install Neovim along with the LazyVim You'll get almost everything configured.

I use Visual Studio Code mostly when I code. I have also used CLion with the Rust plugin https://www.jetbrains.com/rust/
It’s not really FOSS since it has a subscription cost.

Not and IDE but if you're starting up, the Helix editor works well with rust. Bear in mind that it lacks some features of a full fledged IDE and even things neovim and kakoune already do, but it's a slight different approach and I'm loving it.
Emacs with lsp-mode is my preferred environment for Rust development!
If you're really keen on a FOSS setup you may need to go terminal based, I haven't tried this setup but it looks good
I wish Geany had LSP support.
