For the sake of those who don't have an efficient development machine with speedy compilation and for those with environmental concerns- I'd like to request to replace cargo install commands with cargo binstall commands wherever present in the book and documentation.

cargo binstall finds and installs binaries similar to apt. It is also supported by cargo install-update -a as well.

By doing so, I was able to cut the processing time used installing new tools and dependencies to nearly none.

Until cargo-bins/cargo-binstall#1 is resolved in some direction, I'll keep recommending cargo install as the default installation method.
I hear where you are coming from and I agree it's a concern, but as an educator, I should always recommend the most secure option as default - users can make different trade-offs if they want to.
