Wouldn't Name Resolution Policy Tables (NRPT) be the comprehensive Windows solution?

  So (the last time I checked) the actual code is there but there are no sanctioned user/developer-visible knobs/APIs to tweak NRPT on client Windows SKUs and only limited configuration specifically limited to the resolution of accepted client DNS requests is available on Windows Server. I believe there is basically a optional network stack path that utilizes NRPT but it’s not the default path, so only MS-blessed code that is actively using NRPT (so the new VPN stack and their DNS server) actually works with it.

    NRPT has worked fine for me on regular Win10 clients ever since I first started configuring it about 18 months ago. With the exception of apps like Firefox being configured for DNS-over-HTTP and bypassing the OS resolver entirely, it works in all applications and with all the interstitial resolvers in virtual environments I have had occasion to use (VMware workstation, HyperV, Docker, WSL1/2, etc.)
