I tried Paragon's ntfs3 and it didn't go well
That's not exactly true. From my understanding, what happened is that the maintainer for this project went on vacation in April 2022, and didn't reply to messages from the kernel team. [0]
But we can indeed see plenty of work being done by devs. [1]
So, I don't know what to think, I haven't kept with more specific stuff, but is the work done not being merged since? I couldn't tell without serious grepping.

I want to share the storage between my linux and Windows system
The dev was just on a break. In fact, as of today he's very much active.

NTFS3 driver is orphan already. What we do?

Windows to Linux. Transferring files.
Whilst that's true out-of-the-box, there are several third-party drivers and apps to read Linux filesysrems in Windows, like WinBtrfs, Ext4Fsd, Paragon File Systems Link etc.

Fixed the "Life with Dualboot"
I found this for ext2,3,4 too, I have tested personally https://github.com/bobranten/Ext4Fsd

Why hasn't there been a feature-complete ext4 driver for Windows yet?
There's the once-well-known ext2fsd, but it has become abandonware for ~5 years, and it causes lots of trouble on newer Windows versions. Bo Branten took a fork of it and fixed some of its bugs two years ago, but he has yet to add any missing features like journaling or ACL.

You can double click on Task Manager to enable this
by default only the filesystem isn't recognized, the partitions will still show up as a drive letter (except for partitions that are hidden by id or that windows can't recognize), though when you try to access them windows will of course ask you to format. if you install an unofficial kernel driver like winbtrfs or ext4fsd then the partition & filesystem can be fully recognized

I've nuked all my NTFS file systems, and switched over to Ext4
In a pinch, you could use Ext4Fsd for windows at https://github.com/bobranten/Ext4Fsd

Only Microsoft can give open source the gift of NTFS
Maybe this? https://github.com/bobranten/Ext4Fsd

Alternative to NTFS for dual boot?
There actually is a way to run btrfs and ext4 on Windows, but I probably wouldn't recommend them as they likely won't have the same speed and stability as a natively supported file system format.
