that isn't particularly surprising, but the point is I would expect getting things more stable than the zig version would take a bit.



That's completely normal at the first step of the language transformation. Actually it's required if you do a file by file transformation first while wanting to maintain interface compatibility.

I'm not sure I would take this kind of path, I would much more focus on refactoring the project to small and easily translatable components with small boundaries, but it's cheap to try things.
