How many rough edges will C++ have in another 30 years?

Who knows. It will likely have more than any other language. Though it will also continue to not get credit for things it got right.

There will always remain two types of languages: those that nobody uses and those that everybody complains about.

Could it be that it gets no credit for things it got right because it got barely anything right?
