FWIW Triton can actually be used pretty easily from C++ straight using MLIR. XLA does that. Maybe not exactly a frontend but not that far.

i have PRs in Triton - i'm well familiar with the fact that triton is an MLIR project.

that's like saying llvm ir is usable through C++ ... or hell that's like saying NVPTX is usable through C++. it's not just not a frontend it's the exact opposite: it's emitting IR using IR builders.
