Bazel does this.

I have to be honest - MS Build does not scale well. Companies use it because it’s the default.

Seems they came up with a way to scale up build toolchains with BuildXL[0]

Doesn't seem fully baked yet though

I don't have a ton of experience in Bazel, but from what I have experienced with Bazel I think it would be more accurate to say that you configure the dependency graph yourself in Bazel. Then Bazel can determine what to build from scratch and what to take from cache

Yes, but Bazel requires an all-in commitment and also tons of work to fit the rest of the world into it.
