Would an overlay filesystem work? Its been a long time since I looked at it (and it was for very different purposes) but if you can get NTFS game drive mounted as a read only layer of an overlay fs and then idk some ext4 as the writeable layer, you can prevent writing data to the NTFS drive and making windows sad with illegal filenames, while also getting to like, yk, save your savegames and whatnot.
Might make loading times pretty long tho. Idk what the overhead is for an overlay fs.
