Redirecting or moving %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local to another drive for all users (AD joined workstation)

Question

Hi,

I'm administering a school lab with Windows 10 Pro computers connected to AD.
I will be putting SSDs in computers but there are so many accounts that I'm concerned for their lognevity and space when the AppData\Local folders start growing and wanted to use existing HDDs for profile storage.
FolderRedirection works like a charm for most folders in the user's directory (including AppData\Roaming) but there is no way to treat the Local AppData in the same way.
I already tried the following:

1. Changing the registry:
   HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
   for "AppData" replacing:
   %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local
   with:
   D:\Users\%USERNAME%\Appdata\Local
   Windows just creates a folder named %USERNAME% in D:\Users
   I also tried adding the "Shell Folders" to HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ but it also didn't work
2. Seting the LOCALAPPDATA variable group policy:
   Computer Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Environment
3. Seting the LOCALAPPDATA variable by script:
   User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts > Logon
   md D:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local
   set LOCALAPPDATA=D:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local
4. Windows Storage Spaces - doesn't work with a boot drive so unfortunately it's a dead end.
