Hello,
There is a translation to C of texi2any code going on, for the future,
after the next release, mainly for the conversion to HTML in a first
step.
One thing I could not find easily in C is something to replace the
Unicode::Collate perl module for index entries sorting using 'smart'
rules

This surprises me. Why not? For some languages, the alphabetical
order differs enormously from English.

Calling [using Perl] a "mistake" is a very strong statement! Why do you say
that?
Surely texi2any 7.0.3 (2023) is more functional than makeinfo 4.13 (2008) was.
That is not a meaningful comparison. The question is: If we had re-written
