I've been using that at one point in time to feed OCaml closures to a
C++ constructor, construct a private member holding a generational
global root of arrays of these closures, and inheriting the base
virtual class to implement member function calling back the closures in
the array. It worked. So I guess it could fit the bill for your work as
these generational global roots seem compatible with callbacks.

(Well, it almost worked: I was using Lwt, and unix calls from the C++
code were interrupted by POSIX signals scheduled by Lwt to implement
non-blocking system calls... for the story. But that has nothing to do
with the above paragraph.)
