dxil.dll is managed ("dotnet") code, right?

No, it's C++, based on LLVM. https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler

Edit: apparently dxil.dll is not part of DXC (the classic move to make "open source" software dependent on external proprietary garbage, apparently.) But I'd still doubt it's a managed DLL.
