There were questions about what C++ versions people were able
to use in the recent C++ developer survey:

https://isocpp.org/files/papers/CppDevSurvey-2022-summary.pdf

Moving from C++11 to C++14 reduces the percentage of respondents
who can use "pretty much all" of the features of that version from
89.9% to 82.9%.

Personally, my only limitation is what Apple's clang derivative
supports; currently it lacks some C++20 features.
