Those errors are most likely only related to CMAKE and wrong test
setup, not the code base itself. CMAKE didn't work properly OOB for me
as well[1], but testing the code base with my non-CMAKE projects on
Windows works properly. OTOH, you said that CMAKE built successfully
on your Windows.

So you could easily argue that most users don't use Windows and all
others will benefit from a release, that the current release won't
be free of bugs anyway and that even if you fix the concrete issues
with GitHub actions, some short time afterwards someone WILL issue a
new bug in ones Windows environment. :-)

In my opinion, those problems are NOT a reason to not release. As more
people are looking into the release, the more discussions will arise
about "things". This happened in the past already as well. Remember
that only some days ago someone said that releases don't need to be
perfect at all. I regularly find issues in released, tested etc.
software, that's day-to-day business and shouldn't prevent this
release as well.
