I'm not sure we agree :) I have no problem with using overloaded functions, but writing lots of overloaded functions would be a headache. A single variadic template would do a better job than an entire set of overloaded functions, see the printf template at http://www.generic-programming.org/~dgregor/cpp/variadic-templates.html But I do agree that for this case, where the original code is in C, simply using <stdarg.h> and vprintf is the most straightforward solution.
