C++ in the kernel is a BAD IDEA. C++ code can be written in such a convoluted manner as to be unmaintainable and unreadable.
So can C.
All of the hidden memory allocations from constructor/destructor operatings can and do KILL OS PERFORMANCE.
This is one area of concern. Just as big a problem for the OS case is
that the hidden constructors/destructors may fail. You can write C++
code carefully to avoid these things but it can be hard to see where the
problem is when you miss one.
C at least makes it verbose, but we trade that for poorer typechecking
and visibility control.

Yep.
