First major success story for Zig language? (Not trying to diminish Bun's team success)

I'd say Ghostty is a pretty big success story as well.

Let's not forget about TigerBeetle either. They weren't bought (as far as I'm aware), but they seem to have some pretty good backing from customers.

Are the benefits of Zig really that amazing compared to Rust that it's worth choosing Zig, which is not even at 1.0 and seems to be constantly changing? Also, Zig is not memory safe the same way.

That said, I can easily imagine that the developer experience is superior for Zig. More fun.
