ClickHouse Keeper: A ZooKeeper alternative written in C++
That's true - C++ libraries are typically bug-ridden and require exhaustive efforts to clean up.
But the latest bugs found by ClickHouse continuous integration system in the related library were fixed about a year ago:

ClickHouse Keeper: A ZooKeeper alternative written in C++
It's been a few years since I've checked in with distributed lock services. Why would someone adopt ZooKeeper after etcd gained maturity? I recall seeing benchmarks more than 5 years ago where a naive proxy like zetcd[0] out-performs ZooKeeper itself in many ways and offers more consistent latencies. etcd has gotten lots of battle-testing being Kubernetes core datastore, but I can also see how that has shaped its design in a way that might not fit other projects.
As an anecdote, FoundationDB (and Kafka?) also replaced their usage of ZooKeeper.
