Hi, maybe it has become easier to connect devices to iPhone hotspots in August of 2019. I connect my PC through an iPhone hotspot using the lightning cable (USB). It is fast & sturdy and than on from the PC you can setup a (private) LAN network or a wireless network if you like. It needs (LAN) only a connected Router (PC LAN). These routers are cheap now to obtain. In Windows 10 it is possible to pause all syncing in the background because you use a SIM (metered connection). Your data (rate) usage will be considerebly lower.  Expect speeds up to 30+Mbps. That seems sufficient even using Netflix in HD. I never use more then 2.5GB on a daily basis wich is within the 5GB daily standard limit of a unlimited 4G account. You do the math?
