Massgrave + Win10 IOT LTSC enterprise would be a better play

Isn’t that exactly what the person you replied to is talking about?

The extended support program is the one-year extension for the consumer versions (Home and Pro) and it requires a mandatory Microsoft account and data harvesting. Win10 IOT LTSC is contractually obligated to be supported until 2032 - and conveniently has all the garbage included in the consumer versions removed.
