For a backend? No, sorry. I have never looked into that.

But the issue raised earlier was that because CMake's Makefiles are
recursive (or something) they are too slow, probably because automake
does it this way and is slow. I personally do not think this will be
an issue. When running on Windows, the time taken by makefiles when
changing directories is insignificant compared to the time taken by
the compiler. But I have only tried it under Virtualbox and not at all
thoroughly.

If, however, both the Makefile and MSBuild generators turn out to be
too slow, the CMake developers are very responsive and would most
likely work with you to improve the performance.

Only after this fails would you need to look into writing your own backend.

Well, my CMake build env experiment was posted here again just now. Is
that sufficient for evaluation or do you need something more?
