My main issue is the terminal emulator. MinTTY is the only I can get to work like I want with colors and fonts, but I still miss ligatures and the performances are bad.
I'd really like something faster with full color and font support I can SSH from.
By true color support, I mean this: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell
I use it to change my colors depending on the machine I am on. If I log onto a production server, the color scheme switch to high contrast with red background.
Have you tried this out in recent Windows releases? We added 24-bit color support [1] to the console in Sep 2016, and built a colortool (that supports solarized) this summer [2]. Most of this should work, and we're all ears for things that don't.

Does it support setting colors via escape sequence from the shell? because that's the whole point.
Ah, no, I don't believe so - colortool calls into kernel 32.dll to set the colors it looks like, so they're system wide. The github project linked in the second blog post would be a good spot to put a bug/feature request in though.
