All C++ learning material should be forced to link to https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/, like how cigarette packs are forced to advertise nicotine addiction therapies :^)
I wish there was a good place to learn “the other parts” of C++, the build systems, using static analyzers, testing, dependency management, etc.
I’m thinking something like MIT’s “missing semester” course which teaches the boots on the ground part of software like how to use Git.

Maybe these resources exist for C++ and I just never found them.
I think a lot of “modern” languages get this right by including these things from the start. The experience is so much better.
I have yet to encounter problems with Cuda in our Bazel environment, but I don't have to maintain the Bazel rules, since our build infra team does that.
I would think that rules like https://github.com/liuliu/rules_cuda should work for you in Bazel. (Tensorflow also uses Bazel, so I don't think that this should be a problem.)
Proper use of the language is what https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines is for. Before that, there were HICPP, JSF, MISRA, ISO/IEC TR 24772, NUREG 6463 etc.
I have been writing in C++ for most of my professional career, I wrote company-wide guidelines, I still teach and consult. I absolutely agree that C++ is not going anywhere anytime soon. That being said, so is smoking. We can't just tell people not to smoke anymore, we live in a free society. But we really shouldn't drag more people in.
