### Area

Thrust

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Thrust types are not well suited to be used in API boundaries. So we want to see whether we can move downstream away from those if possible.

### Describe the solution you'd like

We should open PRs to replace thrust types either with libcu++ or std types whenever possible

### Describe alternatives you've considered

We tried getting rid of the namespace versioning for those types but that turned out to be way more disruptive to we worth it
