I've added the following rewrite:

add_rewrite_tag( '%cc2%', '([^&]+)' );
add_rewrite_rule( '^cc2/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?', 'index.php?c=$matches[1]&wpv-city=$matches[2]','top' );

and an archive view with some filters (including city)

so when I open /?c=cat&wpv-city=city , city filter is selected properly
but when I open /cc2/cat/city, city filter is empty

Site is fresh, nothing is installed but default theme and toolset. Rewrite is added through code snippet.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Actually, As you know this requires custom rewrite rules and Toolset do not offer any solution to set custom rewrite rules.

Normally, Toolset views actually needed the URL params in request URL to filter the results and for pagination rather than pretty URL for which you added the custom rules. You may contact the URL rewrite experts if you still want pretty URL with your archive view.

from this thread, I assumed that toolset is supposed to support it, or maybe was supporting it in the past

As you shared the old post and I'm also able to locate one old post where I can see its not possible to have pretty URLs for view's filter params.

As I acknowledged before, Normally, Toolset views actually needed the URL params in request URL to filter the results and for pagination rather than pretty URL for which you added the custom rules.
