So there we are, already a lopsided system for both work permits and license transfers which means it's much easier for EU nationals to come to the UK than the reverse.

Hold your horses. Best to email to check with CAA which criteria you fall into.
Did you read all the routes in that link?
FYI. Wait time on that email is over a month. Not me but a guy on my TR got told he would have to do 14 exams for Uk ATPL or wait until he has EASA unfrozen ATPL, still think he has to do the exams even then.
I went through the process of gaining an EASA to go along with my UK license in 2021. Expensive and time consuming at the time. Seems even more difficult now.
