And I have to say that the whole trope of "Emacs may be able to do anything but you have to configure a lot to get it to work" has has got to be pure exaggeration at this point with things like eglot. I had the most painless experience setting up LSP for Java (among many others).

It is in fact pretty true with C++.

Getting everything set up for jump to definition and find references to work with an existing code base ... can be a journey.

If you are at a Visual Studio / XCode shop (where these things have been set up and work) you will definitely be swimming against the stream trying to get emacs to "speak" that codebase.
