My stance is just based on cpp core guidelines:

https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines...

std::reference_wrapper still can’t save you from yourself, but it’s better than violating the first link and ending up in this limbo that OP is talking about.

That link says nothing about std::reference_wrapper ?

I’m just saying, nothing up my sleeve, no arcane templatelord bullshit, this is isocpp: don’t use references in your structs because it’s subtly broken. It doesn’t mention reference wrappers but that’s the escape hatch.
