The fun part is going to be all the ripple effect changes required to api's to pass them around as const. Those result in mangling changes and thus is a reasonably massive amount of low level ABI churn.
Perhaps we can make the data private with only public, final getter properties for it, to const data.
The .initializer property already returns const, so making m_init const shouldn't change anything. name is already string, so its contents are immutable.
vtbl and destuctor are void*, so they need to be casted anyway. I don't think const will break anything there.
Biggest worry I see is interfaces.... but I'm pretty sure again little should change. We can keep the outer type the same while just changing the member variables to minimize outside changes.
