I've pretty much always used QTRGui on Windows. I understand the attractions of the MacOS workflow, but I've never considered switching for all the reasons the OP mentioned. The Windows workflow works. It's different, perhaps not as smooth, but it works. I have access to a Mac for printing should I wish, but it's not worth the trouble to switch machines just for printing IMHO, when Windows works. (There is a caveat for 10 ink printers.)
There was talk a while back of a port of Print Tool to Windows. Not sure what happened to that. Perhaps the Catalina upgrade will breathe new life into it.

Do you want a newer version of QTRGui or a Windows version of Print-Tool? The latter would be quite a bit more effort.
How much would you be willing to pay for either?
