They could still make use of bounds checking, like my own classes did back in the MS-DOS days, when C++ARM was pretty much the only thing available.
Naturally when one writes C in C++ it doesn't help.

I suspect that they'll adopt MTE first.
I agree, that was the path taken by Solaris SPARC and it is the only way to make it work, because even if a language level safety would be introduced today, not everyone would bother adopting it.
