Marking files as hidden seems easier on Windows. I find it much more annoying to hide files on Linux (especially folders like ~/snap which can't be renamed).
If there's anything I've heard about drivers, though, it's that filesystem drivers are particularly annoying to write.
If you want to simply hide the files from view, you may have an easier time writing a shell plug-in. You have to deal with COM, but you're less likely to take down the whole system.
