Resolution Note:
Unfortunately, we won't be able to fix this issue: Even if we manage to find all potentially problematic usage of CreateFile APIs in our own codebase, Unity Editor actually communicates with many tools we don't have control of (e.g. platform-specific compilers etc.). So we will never be able to fully support long paths on Windows.
