Should I go with Tauri/Rust for just a dental clinic management desktop app?

I'm working on a dental clinic management desktop software and I got confused about between going with Tauri/Rust or just use the easy way which is electron/JavaScript,here is my reasons for:

  1. Using Tauri:

- the client generally have bad/slow computers with low memory the best i think is 8gb of ram, so it will be so useful to have a light software

- I'm planning to sell this product multiple times so maybe in the future i will face same problem of low memory and computer specs

- I learned recently about how fascinating is Rust and how useful it is ,so I'm planning to learn it

  1. Using electron:

- i need to learn Rust from scratch although im good at c++ i still think i will struggle i just don't know how much

- I am already familiar with building react web apps with js backend so it will be easier and i can focus on functionality

- i don't have much time since my client is waiting for me roughly 2-3 months

What do you think is the best choice in my case i'm still worried about the elecron app being too slow or buggy, and at the same time I don't if I could learn rust backend to production without problems in 2-3 months

I will be so grateful your thoughts and suggestions, thank you
