 So, do you admit that callback in C can have state?

No, because this is a parameter and a lambda is a glue of an
object and a calling operator. The object is the state and a
C function-pointer misses that.

Bad software engineering practice that easily leads to incomprehensible
code.

I'm using this convention with nearly any lambda and if I can't
remember later which outer variables are used I remove the & and
the temporary non-referencing locals are underlined red and when
I've notice which locals were used I press ^Z.

When in C++ and not in mood for C-style, I very much prefer functors.
Ideologically they are the same as C-style context, but a little
sugarized syntactically.

No, A C++ functor may be an object with a calling operator. In C you
don't have the implicit object; that's magnitudes less convenient. C
is always multiple times more work.
