The comments you heard are mainly related to BT audio not BTle midi. There are two different BT connection processes. One for audio and one for midi. iOS has the audio in the settings but you need various apps that have BTle midi options. Once you connect midi the other midi apps should work if you select the BT device.
Regarding the bluetooth connection, you need to understand that there is a big difference between bluetooth audio and bluetooth midi. The bluetooth options in the Settings app are only to establish an audio connection, have nothing to do with midi connection (other than that bluetooth needs to be 'On' in settings to use bluetooth midi). A bluetooth midi connection is established only in an app, and as you discovered, you don't need to use the app you create the connection in once you've had it create the connection. The free app 'midimittr' is a good way to create the bluetooth midi connection, there are others. Also, the difference between bluetooth midi and bluetooth audio explains your confusion regarding why you experienced little latency. Bluetooth audio transmits a lot of data, has lots of latency, not usable for live playing. Bluetooth midi, on the other hand, transmits very little data, has very usable latency for live playing, even if not quite as good as a wired connection.
Hardware running windows has no midi Bluetooth standards. You will have to ask someone with your hardware that has used BTle to interface any midi controller. If it work then the mini will work.

Agree. BT MIDI is perfectly usable.

Yep, I'm learning!
Hi, do you know if it can connect to windows via bluetooth? does it need additional app, setup?
Thanks!
I have not tried that configuration. I did get it to easily connect to Windows via USB
