Even with uBO disabled, the site is broken and I get this in the console:

Uncaught InternalError: too much recursion
    initContent deploying-rust-in-existing-firmware.html

Confirm the page is broken for me too without using any extensions

It's because they are using a bad regex in the code:

<details

regex101.com returns catastrophic backtracking for me

Sigh. Before reporting this, I tested this multiple times, and each time it consistently worked with uBlock Origin disabled and didn't work with uBlock Origin enabled. However, it does look like it's simply inconsistent whether it loads or not, and by loading it several more times I've now observed breakage with uBlock Origin disabled and functioning with uBlock Origin enabled. Apparently I just had a series of several successes/failures that were each correlated with the uBlock Origin status.

Closing this, and sorry for what ended up being a red herring.
