There are a lot of large C++ shops that purposefully disable exceptions and yet still use RAII usefully. It's so useful that in many C codebases you see people using RAII. For example Gtk has g_autoptr and g_autofree.

One of the most compelling things C++ offers to embedded use case is moving runtime initialization to compile-time initialization by liberally using constexpr functions. You literally ask the compiler to do work that would otherwise be done at runtime.
