I can attest that so far the lifetime static analysers for C++ haven't progressed that much.
However until certain C++ overloads don't give more love to memory-safe, garbage collected language or languages like Rust, that is better than nothing.
For example, I don't expect Windows team to ever lose their love for C++, NVidia moving from their C++ love for CUDA, or Metal shaders in something else.
Ah, and then many of those languages are keeping C++ around by building on top of GCC or LLVM.
So any improvement towards to make C and C++ safer is better than just using them as they are.
