Yes, some ideas are around for sure. I have some on my list too. But on one hand 
resources are limited and on the other hande a re-write and adding some features 
would require substantial effort while the existing solution works in almost all 
use-cases. As a result the demand of putting substantial errort into rework is 
pretty low.

This is a known issue for sure. However I am personally still use WPKG-client on 
Windows 10 without any issues. Without logon delay of course. But running as a 
delayed startup service and adding a very simple task scheduler task which just 
launches the service on normal shutdown/startup even if fast-statup is enabled. 
This works pretty reliable for me.
