Any gotchas running app via C++?
One of my rust libraries is for bindings to C++ library. It uses cxx crate, which was honestly kind of a pain to get it right. If you decide to go that route you can check it out as reference https://gitlab.com/volian/rust-apt.

Yep.. I'm dumping APT for Nala.
Development on Nala has kind of slowed down for a bit. We're basically only fixing bugs ATM. We're working on a rewrite in rust, but this requires bindings to the apt C++ API which we also have to write. We've made good progress on this https://gitlab.com/volian/rust-apt.
- What is the current status and future plans for using Rust with C++?

Try switching to Nala for your apt front end. Way better experience.

Creating an Ubuntu post install script
I do like Nala front-end for "apt". I'm new to it, but it would likely be at the top of my script.

How to change the repo from local one
You can use nala and do a sudo nala fetch command to find the fastest repo servers.

Your default post-install packages
You’d need to be on testing or sid for nala. It’s also available from the website and you can install with dpkg.

Nala is available on Stable, but you have to use our repositories as specified in our installation instructions https://gitlab.com/volian/nala/-/wikis/Installation.
- do you use Nala package manager??

Did not finish, yet!?
nala says hello.

apt post transaction actions
I know that Nala has support for this, but it's one of the lesser used features so there could be some bugs present. https://gitlab.com/volian/nala

Package manager GUI...
idk anything like this, but you can use Nala, to make apt looks better. :)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rust-apt and nala you can also consider the following projects:
pacstall - An AUR-inspired package manager for Ubuntu
bismuth - KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm.
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
dracut-sshd - Provide SSH access to initramfs early user space on Fedora and other systems that use Dracut
pikaur - AUR helper with minimal dependencies. Review PKGBUILDs all in once, next build them all without user interaction.
apt-fast - apt-fast: A shellscript wrapper for apt that speeds up downloading of packages.
