Just have the non-throwing private constructor take the data member by rvalue reference and move them in place. This works in practice for so many projects that do C++ without exceptions.

But then you loose so many features of C++. Can't have aggregates anymore since everything needs private constructors -> more code -> more bugs. Each possible contructor now needs a matching static method. Can't put things in standard containers unless you rewrite all copy / move contructors (and you didn't forget to mark your move constructor noexcept, did you ?). What happens when you have classes with more than 3 members ? Constructors with 12 arguments ? That's unambiguously terrible, and does not even save you from exceptions coming from C++ itself. If 79% of surveyed C++ projects can use exceptions (https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2020/cpp/ https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2020/cpp/), likely so can you.
