Type safety is not a standardized term, and it is not binary. Being black and white about things is almost always bad. One needs to weigh and balance a large number of different concerns.

A lot of "modern C++" is terrible, terrible code precisely because of failing to find a balance.

Many C++ "solutions" are broken by design.
