One limitation is for example when an update goes wrong (rare, but can happen). You need a MacBook or anything else running MacOS to restore the device. Or might have to go to an Apple Store. Otherwise, no real limitations.

I run an iPhone but my main personal laptop is an old T480 with FreeBSD. I do have a spare MacBook Air flying around just in case though.

Does iTunes for Windows no longer do restores? It did in the past.

IIRC, the microsoft store version is incapable for doing full restore from a recovery state. You need the "windows" .exe version from itunes.com
