No way of running OneDrive on Windows Server 2019?

I really just don't understand Microsoft here. We have legacy applications running on a Windows Server 2016 RDSH server. We were waiting for Windows Server 2019 so that we could use OneDrive and files on demand for our file shares and now OneDrive is not supported at all? I know Microsoft's goal here is to get people to use VDI instead, but this is just not something we're going to do.

Unfortunately, it looks like we won't be able to roll out OneDrive for Business across our organization so long as Microsoft chooses to not support it on its server products - companies like us still need RDS! Very frustrating.

  Hi Alex. You can http://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/ on RDS using a tool like Zee Drive. Zee Drive has specific support for http://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/#DesktopServers.

    Hi All
    
    I am currently using OneDrive Files on Demand into Windows 2019 RDS for my company's OneDrive and also SharePoint. It works perfectly, the same way as Windows 10.
    
    Think it was also possible into Windows 2016 (used by many of our customers), I immediately deployed a trial and tested it, but I could not activate Files on Demand.
    
    I hope this info is useful

Thanks. Standalone (non-subscription) Office apps work fine, but I guess Office 365 together with OneDrive is out of the question.
Really don't like the "silent error" approach here where you have to spend a few hours to slowly realize what the problem is...
