None of these options support the forms function of Winlink Express. I
realize there are other ways to achieve this, but that train has

function. You will not be fully compatible.

Yep. If you just want messaging then the options I mentioned will work
if you need to use Winlink Express features then go with Windows.
You could use your rasperry Pi running Direwolf in AGWPE or TCP/IP mode
as a remote TNC and run WE on your Windows machine.

You can get WE running on Linux:

Yes you could run WE under wine.
