With a password manager you're putting all the eggs in the same basked. Why I'm I the only one who see this?

More analyticalally: the probability_of_an_account_getting_hacked times damage is constant. More unrelated accounts you have, hack more probable, less damage on a single hack. With one password manager account, everything you have is at stake.

There is no way around it. You can't manage this risk.

Hah! Just try running a server with vm.overcommit_memory=2.

You would have to be very unlucky to take 34 minutes[1]. After mere 75 tries (seconds) the chances are >50%.

All C/C++ projects I have ever seen used either cmake or autoconf build system. It's pretty standard.
