I haven't looked closely at windows for about fifteen years, but back then the antivirus was horrible. I/o and general performance was hideously slow as everything had to be inspected against virus signatures and heuristic analysis. Is that still The same now or you whitelist the AV for games?

We run x86-64, with a SSD (SATA2/3, or NVME). I/O should not be a problem anymore, regardless of OS.

It is. If you're running windows on an even remotely slow drive, unless you disable Windows defender (which you can only do temporarily through conventional means) the system is barely usable.
