You'll need pumps on both sides.

If adding a heat exchanger can solve the rusting problem, are there boilers
already with a stainless steel heat exchanger built-in to save space? Also,
by using a heat exchanger, then all those by-pass loops and mixing valve can
be excluded, correct?

Problem is the coils in the floor ARE the heat exchange
surfaces.

From what I understand, the exchanger will isolate the water from the
boiler. The water from the boiler pumps through the exchanger, and the
water from the floor pipes also pumps through the exchanger, but only heat
exchanges between them inside the exchanger. That way, the boiler will not
rust out.
