I work with C++ on a daily basis and the position is actually closer to "sandbox anything tricky, and run everything through fuzzers and sanitizers."

Anyone who thinks they can overcome 100% of memory-unsafety bugs through looking at the code real hard is fooling themselves. But I'm not convinced there's a lot of people who actually think that (maybe there's some people who just don't care or never considered it)

This has not been my experience. Most people don't bother with these things. Memory safety / undefined behavior is a non issue for them.
