At that point you might as well just use a windows VM for CAD. With desktop integration you hardly have to notice you're using windows.

I've certainly considered that, but have a hard time imagining a comparable performance with large assemblies. Any hands-on experiences?

I have used a windows vm at a previous job for a closed source IDE we were required to use. I've never used AutoCAD, so I'm afraid I can't help you there.
