Yes, the ledger.proto including the data.proto from ccore is supposed to be that. Indeed it doesn't currently represent comments but a while ago it was discussed to be able to do that, and to allow programmatic transformation on the parsed output and to reconstitute text, as well as round-tripping. It's never been done, but IIRC it was the next project on the cparser front.
I spent a good amount of time dealing with zero-copy C++ protos from Python and it wasn't obvious and more or less gave up. I'm hoping to restart v3 in Rust at some point and to maybe write a proto generator for a Rust-native data structure at that time. Well, you know, probably in retirement if I'm realistic, unless someone else does it. A few people have written decent Rust parser for the full Beancount syntax BTW.
