I don't think there's an Objective-C++ mode out there in the wild.  So
what existing mode should be used for *.mm and *.M?  Is that mode a good
enough fit to be able, in good conscience, to use it for Obj-C++?

According to https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ObjectiveCMode#toc2 objc-mode is the most appropriate mode for now, until a true objc++-mode is added.
