Given all of this, I would have to say stay in C++ and switch to wxWidgets. That way you avoid the overall pain of switching languages and you gain all of the other benefits you mention. As a motivating example, Epic Games has rewritten UnrealEd, their map editing tool, from being a C++/MFC application to being a C++/wxWidgets application.
For a very large application, I'm going to have to agree with your engineer who says that dynamic typing presents a maintenance nightmare. I can go into more details about that privately if you want more information. I'd also stay away from the bytecode-compiled-only, or interpreted, languages for obvious performance reasons.
Finally, wxWidgets has a quite good book available, Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets. Documentation matters!
