Can gtkmm benefit from GtkBuilder's <template> syntax?

See my comment here, you can do that but you have to call the C functions:

Using .ui template with Gtkmm

To add to that, you can only use GtkBuilder with <object> at the toplevel. If you want to use <template> then you have to create a custom widget and set the template in the class init function, using gtk_widget_class_set_template or similar. There is no gtkmm binding for those functions so you will have to just call the C functions. <signal> can be used but additional setup has to be done using GtkBuilderScope, which also has no gtkmm binding so you have bind everything you want as a C functi…

I am sure a motivated person could make some nice wrappers for these, and also figure out how to get template children/callbacks to work.
