Totally different R sound in English crucifix and French croissant.

It's still better than "Qwasant"

God yes. Especially with an accent that makes the -ant into two syllables.

even the french will often ellide the ⟨ʁ⟩ to ⟨ʁ̞⟩ or even [χ], [ʀ], or [r]. Granted none of those are lip-rounded, but I wouldn't give a Japanese speaker a hard time over /L/ pronunciation either.

I agree. Depending on your first language, it can be hard to learn how to make specific sounds in another.
