I don't really understand this argument: We are cross-compiling some tens of C++ projects already, whereas adding Rust is a first here. From my point of view, this is certainly the bigger "burden" here, as long as we make CMake behave. > By the way, I checked the version of CMake in CentOS 7.

That's not true, we can use the version from el7 (which we use for something else already, I forgot which package). This offers us CMake 3.17.5 from the "official" repos (for some definition of "official").
