FSLogix preventing Microsoft Store Apps from loading

We are using FSlogix profile container in our VDI environment, which is non-persistent, and we have an issue where we cannot add/provision Microsoft store applications for users.

We we received the guidance below, but I am wondering if this sounds right, since FSlogix isn't really a roaming profile. Has anyone else had to make these changes in order to get MS store apps to work while using FSlogix?

  1. Exclude %localappdata%\packages from FSlogix profile container.

  2.  The following policies must to be applied:
           a.    SpecialRoamingOverrideAllowed - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/folder-redirection/deploy-roaming-user-profiles 
           b.    AllowDeploymentInSpecialProfiles - https://getadmx.com/?Category=Windows_10_2016&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.Appx::AllowDeploymentInSpecialProfiles

As a workaround this command in the loginscript works
e.g.
Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "c:\program files\windowsapps\Microsoft.VP9VideoExtensions_1.0.22681.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml"

The issue with FSLogix is that it persists the entire user hive by default. This breaks store app (UWP Apps) persistence because there are various registry keys in the user hive that cannot persist between non-persistent desktop sessions. Also, OneDrive does not work properly (SSO) between logins due to the same issue. Certain keys need to be excluded from the user hive in order for FSLogix to work properly. I'm shocked that Microsoft will only support FSLogix as a profile solution when it doesn't even work properly on their own OS out of box.
