Symlink world folder in 1.18.2

Is it possible to symlink the world folder for a 1.18.2 server? Info online seems to be conflated with the 1.20 changes and the allowed_symlinks.txt file. It seems like it must have worked in previous versions because there are guides for doing a ramdisk.

But when I start the server, it looks like it tries to create the world folder, but (obviously) fails because there is a file with that name already (the link file).

I've also tried linking the contents of the world folder, but that threw an access error when trying to open one of the linked files, so maybe I've got some kind of permissions hiccup? I'm at a loss and hoping somebody has gone through this and can provide some feedback, posted in the Reddit too, but looks like more folks active here
