I've eliminated all UTF nonsense from
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4878 resulting in a bare
reference counted buffer of (qualified) ubyte.
The goal is to get the buffer @safe and be able to have a
reasonable explanation for each and every cast. (There are no
safety annotations currently, but the code passes unittests and
supports qualifiers.) No undefined behavior casts should be
used (e.g. that cast away immutability), only simple
adjustments for realities that the type system is unable to
cover.
In order to make opAssign safe, a language change will be
necessary.

Great goal, I wish you to do it!
