Have you seen this for indexing ? https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags

Yep, but I have unfortunately not managed to make it work for me. Also, I wanted to achieve really low-effort setup. I believe that my plugin, while maybe has less features is easier to setup. The user doesn't need to compile anything and generally can avoid opening a command line completely.

I would say these two plugins serve different purposes. rtags seems to be a machine that requires some setup and knowing what you want, but can do a whole lot of different things, while mine is simpler both in setup and architecture, but is of course less functional.

I've used rtags and it's very heavyweight because it strives to be correct. It literally runs a compilation every time.
