I just finished writing an installable 64 bit MIDI driver. It works fine.
I've never had any problem whatsoever with the 32 bit version of the
driver that I wrote, and that includes Windows 10.
If I remember right, the only thing that broke with Windows Vista was
the mixer application for Wave drivers.
All the best,
Mike

Yes. The installable driver stuff still works, but Microsoft
officially disinherited it some 10 years ago. If something breaks in
that interface, they won't fix it.
Other vendors seem to still be doing this, so presumably there is a
way to make it work reliably?
Sort of. For 32-bit apps, it will work, but the word "reliably" may
be an exaggeration. And there is no support for 64-bit apps.
