Wouldn’t previous human-coded implementations already be in LLMs’ training sets? OP article even mentions a number of previous implementations. And even recent LLM “clean room” designs seem to gloss over how the final LLM implementer still has access to previous implementations’ code.

Still, OP claims to have done the best job to date at creating (via AI) specs, and the non-optimal Rust implementation, so a net gain?

I don’t believe any of the extant open source rar implementations cover the range of features and versions OP’s does. I think that’s the point - OP’s isn’t the cleanest or fastest implementation, but it is the most broad open source version available.
