The only problem woth this approach is that C++ IDEs are silos of their own: Visual Studio on Windows, XCode on MacOS, whatever the heck you want to use on Linux... you quickly end up maintaining a lot of project files if you have a cross platform project. Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

  Correct. And e.g. Visual Studio is kind of nice if you only need to develop for Windows. It's just that in my experience the pain with build systems invariably starts to increase when you actually have to go cross platform.
