in Gnome Tweak Tool, under "Keyboard and Mouse", there's an option
called "show location of pointer". If you turn that on, then every
time you press the control key, the mouse pointer is highlighted by
moving circles.
Even that's not particularly obvious, and my eyesight is quite good,
particularly when the mouse is right on the edges of the screen. What's
needed is more like full-screen cross that points to the mouse, like a
few graphics programs use (so you can actually use those rulers along
the edge of a page). Somewhat like the following diagram:

It's struck me that with the multi-button mice that you can get, at
least one of the buttons ought to call up a find-pointer function.
Preferably with a toggle on/off mode, rather than having to hold it in.
Again, for the reason I mentioned earlier - being able to use those
screen rules along the edges of pages in graphics programs.
I think that would be very useful, and if somebody creates such a
program, please put it somewhere in rpm form so that other Linux users
who are not in Fedora can find and use it!
