Correct, the most is equal between the platform. There are only subtle
differences like this one for AArch64-Win64:

If you want, you could also install a Windows 10 On ARM64 inside a KVM
on your Raspberry (with the correct guest drivers you'll get near native
performance) like I have done and test around on that as well ;) Maybe
you'll find the necessary time earlier than me to fix the remaining
problems of the compiler not being able to cycle itself there... :/
Do you mind sharing where you found a working network driver ? I've read
endless stories of instabilities with a few possible links to solutions
of a few months old.
From all that I got the impression that building myself would be the
"quickest" way to get them.
Thanks,
Marc
