...some of us use non-american keyboard layouts and Emacs. I've used it
with a Brazilian Portuguese layout and I'm now working with a Spanish
one.

Here's the same.

I do AltGr +. And I don't find it particularly cumbersome (yes, I
program in C, C++, Perl and other languages where [] are heavily used).

To do C-] I have to type AltGr Right-Ctrl +, in that precise order. And
left ctrl won't do :)

I've also remapped C-Ñ to insert ~ (although I can get it too with AltGr
4), and AltGr e to insert €.

Do you do C-] very often?
