A general rule in C++ programming is that time spent "perfecting" your code increases, the more difficult it is to change and maintain it, and the probability of using Boost approaches 1. Using Boost as a dependency makes your project very cumbersome for to users to compile by themselves.

I put perfecting in quotes, because I believe overengineered, verbose code is something that makes code worse for the reader, writer, and tester. This is why startups are able to accelerate faster than enterprise programmers while they are still able to do this sort of thing.

My point is that RAII is not for everyone, so much so that a popular modern language was developed which avoids it (Go) and includes `defer` instead.
