A quick straw poll. Do people prefer to have all sources compiled in a
single compiler call, or (more like C++) separate compilation of each

Separate compilation imposes continuous re-processing of files.
D is a modern language with a proper module system so it's easy to
figure out dependencies. imo everything should be passed to the compiler
which then should create a dependency graph and begin compilation with
the sinks, using as much internal parallelism as possible, as opposed to
the crappy makefile-level concurrency C++ uses.
D is a modern language with a proper module system and a turing-complete
type system, so figuring out dependencies is an undecidable problem.
What you say still applies though.
