I think I agree with your points on tooling. As much as I'd prefer that new projects used Rust instead of C++, I don't have any illusions that C++ isn't going anywhere any time soon, and any sort of static checking that gets introduced for C++ codebases is an improvement compared to not using it. If anything, it seems even more necessary when there are things that the language will likely never be able to check (without breaking changes, which would be controversial to say the least).
