hi-dpi is in a sad state right now. Fortunatly, there is good support for hidpi in wayland, and as things migrate that way it will get better.
As for running windows apps....how much time do you want to waste? The only windows stuff I really run is games, and the way I do that is by running windows in a VM with the graphics card direct assigned. It works really well, and is super neat, but it was a huge pain in the ass to set up on consumer grade hardware.

Exciting to hear about HighDPI support in Wayland. I had to switch back to windows after getting a 4k display because it's basically unusable for a 3 monitor setup on Ubuntu (1 4k + 2 1080s). We'll see in a month :)

If you give it another shot, make sure you are running Xwayland and that you aren't manually setting the scaling factor. In the current version, it will guess a scaling factor based on the DPI of each display, but if you manually set it it will be applied globally and you will be right back where you are now.
There are really only two things keeping me on Windows.
Aside from that, since Windows 7 (and later versions of Vista), Windows is fine. IMHO, operating systems aren't terribly interesting these days. Everything interesting is in applications on top of the operating system. Windows, macOS, Linux? Whatever. If the application I need runs on that operating system, then I can be productive.
