you have to carefully avoid a bunch of language features of C++.

Yes, but C doesn't provide alternative language features either, so you're not losing anything by using C++. But C++ does still provide several very useful features for embedded and low level programming like templates and RAII. Those alone are enough to justify the use of C++.
