I’m not sure it even demonstrates that. For comparison, C’s inability to prevent undefined behavior at compile time definitely is a fundamental weakness of the language. Yet C has its own tools that, like Miri, can detect most undefined behavior at runtime in exchange for a drastic performance cost. (tis-interpreter is probably the closest analogy, though of course you also have ASan and Valgrind.)
Or to put it another way, the reason that Rust’s implied bounds issue is not a fundamental language issue is that it almost certainly can be fixed without massive backwards compatibility breakage or language alterations, whereas making C safe would require such breakage and alterations. But Miri tells us nothing about that.
