Any way to guarantee the absence of undefined behaviour short of SPARK?
Similarly there exist systems for giving formal assurances about concurrent C code, but that's not something the language itself offers.

Linux Hardening Guide
Even there it depends. 'Programming practices' is vague. Even C can be tamed, at great expense, using formal methods techniques. [0][1][2][3] Adoption of such methods can give a solid assurance of the lack of UB, like use of a safe language. Weaker measures, like adopting MISRA C, don't provide such strong assurances (although they can eliminate certain categories of errors), and as you indicate, their real value is a bit more subjective. Mandating a bad programming style could actively make things worse.

How do you document your (whole) setup ? Looking for ideas.
To ensure SSH and other security related things are configured correctly, you can take a look at DevSec which helps you to apply proven security configuration principles. Also there is guides like "Secure Secure Shell" which can help you to better understand what you can do to increase the security of your servers (this one is from 2015 but many aspects are still relevant).
