Makes me wonder what part of the pattern you think is "too clever"? I think it is fairly easy to reason about when the lock is restricted to the encompassing block and automatically dropped when you leave the block.
It’s kind of a weird design that some of your variables (which you can define anywhere in the scope FWIW) just randomly define a critical section. I strongly prefer languages that do a
with lock {
// do stuff
}
design. This could be C++ too to be honest because lambdas exist but RAII is just too common for people to design their locks like this.
