That seems far more complicated than just using DISM, PowerShell or wimlib (on Linux or Windows) to split the install.wim file into two parts, which I believe older versions of Rufus (or a similar utility) offered to do.

Yep, wimlib is the portable magic that makes FAT32/4GB a non-issue.

It is still annoying to have to use Windows to run NTLite. ;)

Or use ventoy and never worry about large files again.
