Refer to this repo for my BIOS settings; they're pretty much the same.

Broken/Not Working	Info/Workaround
Airdrop & Handoff	Airdrop from other device to XPS works fine, but reverse doesn't work. Handoff works spottily sometimes, other times not at all.
Universal Control & Sidecar	I think the FeatureUnlock kext is needed, which I have not added.
Hardware DRM (Apple TV, Netflix & Amazon Prime in Safari don't play)	Use software DRM browser like Chrome
Brightness function keys	Use MonitorControl
USB-C/Thunderbolt	For USB-C, must properly map ports. Thunderbolt I disabled in BIOS.
Battery life	Greatly reduced vs Windows. Still lasts 3-4 hours, through, so it's satisfactory. Perhaps caused due to running SSD in AHCI instead of RAID. Optimization is possible, however. I just did not bother as I normally use with AC adapter plugged in.
Shutdown/Restart bug	If the power adapter is plugged and you click shut down, it shuts down, but then a second later, reboots. Must unplug power adapter before issuing shut down command to make sure XPS actually does shut down.

Everything is working except the list above. Used this configuration for a year without any hiccups.
Have now switched to a 2012 MacBook Air. Spec downgrade, yes, however, dat Apple materials and build quality, and ergonomics, is just something else...
