Counterexamples would be s2n, grpc, putty, postfix, that are either C with classes or non-PDP C. I suppose in postfix security design was an afterthought and added gradually, but at least it was thought.

I think this means you're making the opposite argument that most C++ folks do, which is that C with classes is bad, and more prone to security issues than "modern C++" is.
My argument is that C with classes is bad when it uses bad security practice, not because it must be bad.
