Am I overlooking a configuration step?

In Intellij,
While setting maven Run/Config, first setup "Parameters".
For working directory, you will find two options to select as it seems you have multi module project with parent child relationship.
For the first option, select the parent project.
In second option; it will show you all the child projects. Select the one which you want to execute first.

Under "Command Line" section put the command "cargo:run" to execute the Cargo plugin maven goal.

Execute it and it should work.
