I know that I want a lot but still. Is this real? Simultaneous access to iscsi disk from different operating systems.

If you want frankly strange, then be prepared for the fact that you will be asked to describe the task in more detail. It is very unpleasant to swear in front of a person who, as it turns out, simply solves a well-known problem incorrectly.
To begin with, tell me why a NAS option with network file systems like NFS and SMB / CIFS is not suitable for you, and why iSCSI block access is needed?
Can you try something with LVM? True, under Windows this will have to suffer. And pull ntfs over lvm, since ntfs-3g works fine.
Describe the iscsi configuration (how many separate targets, what volume a separate volume has), and if possible the purpose of this experiment. Maybe you can find a better solution.
At one time, we wanted something similar, but as a result, we completely abandoned the use of any data storage when solving the problem.
Describe your task in more detail, it is quite possible that a more acceptable solution can be found for it than trying to cross Windows and Linux with one file system (we did not find such solutions).
If you need to run several applications from a network share, then as an option, you can try to virtualize these applications using, for example, Microsoft App-V, VMware ThinApp, or the free Cameyo. Being packaged in containers, applications will have to run from a network share without any problems.
In general, the question is - is it really necessary to run applications from a shared disk / balls? How do you plan to solve the problem that applications during installation can make changes to the registry, dll, COM, register as services on the computer where they are installed, a banal issue with the integrity of the cache in steam with competitive access?
Windows -> DFS, there used to be a problem with synchronization up to a terabyte, now it seems to have been fixed
