I'm not aware of any toolchain limitations; making the kernel compile as C++ is doable with a few trivial patches, and the kernel already is heavily GCC-specific, which supports both C and C++ to the same level.

software is complex, and you can't be sure until you run it in mission critical production.

  With the same argument you couldn't upgrade the compiler at all. Thankfully the Linux kernel development relies on testing instead.
