I really want to transition to Linux but the dual boot issues that risk bricking my windows installation (I really have to use for work and for gaming) really put me off… Is it even fixable? I’m not blaming Linux but just wondering if there’s even a solution for what (from what I read) seems quite an serious issue and a deterrent for adoption…
Which dual boot issues? I’m dual booting Windows 10 and Fedora 41 with no issues. Both are on the same drive. They’re both sharing the same EFI partition.

The best option, I think, is to have them on separate drives (not separate partitions), and select which one to boot from UEFI.
It is more probably windows that will break your linux boot
Windows may brick Linux but not the other way around.
