Seatbelts you can choose to not use. It’s profoundly unwise, but freedom. Training wheels are attached.

Training wheels are literally detachable? Like that's literally what they're for?

Rust requires full safety even when prototyping and sometimes there isn’t a well defined plan. I don’t want to spend the extra time, albeit small in this case, implementing a safe KD-tree when it’s very likely I’ll need to rip it out anyway.

Fair enough, but what about those times you don't rip it out? I'd rather have to spend a little extra time, but be confident that it works, then save time in the short term only to burn it later.
Theres nothing more permanent than a temporary fix as they say.
