Smart pointers and destructors are no more unsafe in C++ than they are in Rust. Rust makes moves and references safe, it doesn't do anything to make a smart pointer implementation more safe.
It prevents you from misusing smart pointers and destructors to do unsafe things, without the *unsafe* keyword. For example, calling the Rust equivalents of `std::shared_ptr::get()` or `std::shared_ptr::operator->()` in C++, storing the resulting raw pointer in a compiler-untracked location, and dereferencing it later requires the *unsafe* keyword in Rust.
