Pretty confident in my solve. The only ones I didn't get myself were 20-down, 29-down (obvious in retrospect), and 21-across (inferred the word, but didn't know the tool).

Rust takes a lot of inspiration from functional languages, but I wouldn't call it a functional language itself. But yeah, not suited to every application.

The idea that the use of the term "Man" is at all related to chromosomes, as opposed to how you interact with society. If you were talking about biological sex that'd be a cogent view, but even there there's a ton of nuance.

That seems weird, the opposite position makes more sense to me. You can't think of any possible economy where you could morally have two houses, and in this situation it's somehow necessary? Could you elaborate further, because it seems reasonably plausible that there could be an economy with significantly more houses than households, to the point of warranting multiple ownership. And of all the things to call second house ownership (convenient, luxurious, smart, excessive, warranted), necessary isn't the one that comes to mind.

To poor for vegetables, lentils, beans, grains, and tofu? Meat imitations are currently expensive, but aren't at all necessary.

Maybe it's a reference to the phenomenon when a word repeated that way isn't noticed, or an earlier meme that uses it?

Just because it's always said doesn't mean it isn't sometimes true. Can't you think of examples of views that were fringe but became the moral baseline?
