I’d recommend just using a long term service channel version of Windows. It’s designed for embedded systems like MRIs so I doesn’t do any of the auto install and restart crap. Also doesn’t have the telemetry or most any other bloat ware Windows usually comes with.

That's misleading.

LTSC version does everything regular versions do exactl wrt automatic updates and wakeups.

Only difference is you can disable these with group policy in enterprise versions (which ltsc is)

You can absolutely disable them in the Pro and Home editions.

Updates are mandatory in Home edition. Sure you can brute-force your way around it but that hardly counts as disabling it.
