On the other hand, my experience is that Windows is the single biggest factor in problems switching from on-field networking to in-pit networking. There are probably things that the Driver Station can do to make it work better, but they would basically be workarounds for inconsistent and undesired Windows behavior.

I think it's the specifics of the USB drivers that would make a Linux version of the Driver Station harder to implement than one might assume.
