Maybe I got it wrong, VirtIO-FS is being used by Linux guests (kernel 5.4) accessing a shared folder on the host, right!
So WinFSP is the equalevant of VirtIO-FS for Win guests? Can it be used to access shared folders on the KVM host?

Can a Windows guest VM using WinFSP access a Linux host VirtIO-FS shared folder?

I'm currently using QEMU on a Windows host to Linux guest every day for work so I was hoping to get this going under Windows. I've been able to build the WinFSP passthrough-fuse3 test program using mingw-w64 but I get a DLL error when I try to run it. Trying to build virtiofsd itself just leads to a ton of compile errors. I guess it needs to be adjusted to use the POSIX compatibility layer that WinFSP has and I bet that layer has a lot missing. Switching to Rust is interested but I suspect it won't make this any easier.

Hmm... slowly virtualisation is coming full circle back to being chroot.

Well, I think there is a a typo;

Added back in Linux 5.4 was the VirtIO-FS file-system driver as a a FUSE-framework-based file-system implementation designed for guest to/from host file-system sharing for VirtIO para-virtualized devices. Now with QEMU 5.0 VirtIO-FS is supported on its side...
