The confusion created by operator overloading is easily solved by tooling. The compiler always knows what a given operator resolves to, and environments like Visual Studio Code with the right plugins can handily highlight what you are actually calling. Also I think that like everything in C++ it's a matter of not abusing a given feature. It's still useful to have the ability to overload operators because it makes the intent behind certain operations much clearer. There's nothing worse than not being able to address an ArrayList in Java with the subscript operator. Nowadays I don't use operator overloading in C++ a lot, it's mostly `=`, `==`, `<=>`, `bool`, `*`, `->`.
