1. Most well-known RTOS kernels have a history stretching back to

I would disagree with this.   The Chorus microkernel (Chorus Systemes,
later purchased by Sun) was started in the late 1980's and was
written in C++ (with a small set of assembler functions).  This was
using Cfront (2.1 and later 3.0).   I'm pretty sure it is still in
use.  This was long before templates, exceptions or the standard
library.

I also know about Chorus. However, not from actual work exposure to it.
I remember it from operating systems courses at school; i.e. academia.
