A low tech and quite effective way to do vias is via micro rivets. They’re popular for CNC’d PCBs, e.g.: https://wegstr.com/riveting-set-for-PCB-vias-0.4-mm?search=R... (No endorsement, just for the pics)

Along the same lines, Favorit makes a press (along with tools / dies and rivets) that takes a lot of the guesswork out of through hole plating. I’ve been a long-time user of the press after getting frustrated with the “solder a paper clip” method of through hole plating, and its greatly increased the yield of my CNC PCB projects.
