I agree that suitability for low-level work is a huge advantage of C++.
But that does not mean it needs to have implicit conversions - explicit
conversions would do the job fine :

 if (int(a) + int(b) + int(c) >= 2) ....

It is very rare IME that you need to add bools - having an explicit cast
would not be a problem.
