Are the remaining issues at the compiler, runtime, or phobos

what combination of the three)? Are the bugs filed?
Quite a few are, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if there
are quite a few
which aren't. For instance, AFAIK, no one ever brought up the
issue of slicing
static arrays being unsafe until just a couple of months ago:

Such operations should be @system but are currently considered
@safe. Who
knows how many others we've missed beyond what's currently in
bugzilla.
This is chicken and egg issue. Due to limitations, enforcing
@safe is hard to do in many code that is safe. So you actually
don't notice that some stuff are considered/not considered
safe/system when they should.
