We are not a C++ shop, so allow me to show ignorance about how projects that are OSS-Fuzz-enabled work. Do they use one set of CXXFLAGS when compiling the "real thing" and a separate set (perhaps one is subset of the other, or perhaps these two just have overlap) of CXXFLAGS when building to link with the fuzzer? What I am trying to get at is if this should be CXXFLAGS or CXX_FUZZER_FLAGS. If the OSS-Fuzz-enabled C++ projects use one set of flags for the "main" part of the project (to produce binaries to be run by the end users) and then link with extra flags to work with fuzzers, I would imagine that they won't call the latter CXXFLAGS but call it something else, and we probably should follow suit if that is the case. Not that we plan to (re)write the maint part of Git in C++ ever, so I am personally OK with sacrificing the most generic CXXFLAGS macro for the sole use of OSS-Fuzz linkage, but I'd prefer to leave the door open so that other things like OSS-Fuzz that require C++ can be added like your work does to the project.
