I'm a heavy std::clamp user, but I'm considering replacing it with min+max because of the uncertainty about what will happen when lo > hi. On windows it triggers an assertion, while other platforms just do a min+max in one or the other order. Of course, this should never happen but can be difficult to guarantee when the limits are derived from user inputs.

Will min+max help you? What do you expect the answer to be when lo > hi? What certainty should std::clamp have? Using min+max on a number that’s between lo+hi when lo>hi will always return either lo or hi, and never your input value.
