Or if you make two efi partitions, one for Linux and one that Windows uses. Then use the Probe Foreign OS in Linux to make a chainloader entry to windows. Set Linux as UEFI bootloader. Windows doesn't know about the other partitions and leaves them alone.

Windows is notorious for wiping Linux parts off a shared drive

Not if you separate into two EFI partitions and set Linux one in your UEFI boot options. Windows only gets access when grub hands over boot to windows via a chainloader entry, windows only knows about its EFI. I have run it 8 years like this...after dealing with windows killing my first shared EFI.

Too much hassle, would never recommend that for beginners

That's a fair point. And probably true on many distros.
