Looking at the racer-rust issues it seems that I just needed to use a different version of the nightly compiler. I can confirm this worked for me. Please look at racer-rust/racer#1173 and see if that version of the nightly compiler fixes your issues

It appears that racer is still using an old nightly compiler
this is what worked for me

rustup toolchain add nightly-2021-06-07

cargo +nightly-2021-06-07 install papyrus

After trying with the above suggestion from @anantasty I'm getting:
