I highly agree with you with sharing the same drive. Always recommend separate hard drive or even better if anyone really needs to use Windows, use a different computer altogether. Windows or any OS will work better in their own hardware space environment entirely on their own. Although I have icy docks with separate hard drives on my PC builds, with Manjaro XFCE as my gaming OS, Linux Mint Ulyssa 20.04.1 as my main daily drive. Because they are separated on two different drives, never run into problems. Windows on the same drive as Linux I’ve done in the past with Windows 7, ended up with Windows taking over my Linux partition, seeing it as free space.
