Can't you work around that with the extended length prefix of
\\?\(\\?\C:\whateverlongpathhere\)? Though admittedly, it is a pain in the ass to use.(edited for clarity and formatting)
You can also enable long paths in w10/11 (30,000+ characters). Instructions are here:

That would unfortunately require me to edit GPO I have non control over. I could temporarily knock it out with regedit but I don't know if it'd be tossed next gpupdate, I'd have to check.
Bummer. The '\?' prefix will work regardless of registry setting, though it's a pain to remember each time.
