Just a quick update. I got word from a Surface lead that this is Microsoft's official stance:
https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/touch-mouse-and-search/surface-pen-default-onenote?os=windows-10 It seems like the only way they know how to do it is through the method I described earlier. I imagine if I threw a few more hours into this I could figure it out, but the official statement from Microsoft is good enough for the people I'm working with. Thanks for the responses!
