> Is enabling SMBv1 on the Windows 10 side the only solution to get Linux share be visible for the Windows "Network" listing?

Yes, it's the only way to see the samba computer in the computers' list.

When using SMB>=2, network discovery will use a different protocol
(WSD/LLMNR) which samba doesn't support.
So, from Windows you'll see all the other Windows computers, but not
the samba servers.

It's not considered an high priority issue, this is from 2015:
