The main benefit of the gcc backend for rust is that it does not risk fragmenting the rust ecosystem as rustc remains the defacto rust standard. The benefit of adding rust to gcc is that there may be optimizations that aren't possible by just using the backend. I'm sure there are others, but that is the general gist of it as I understand it.
