Thanks. As far as UI suggestions go, I would say it's time to retire the A-Z drive plane and instead display a list of mounted volumes only. Maybe include in the list the favorite volumes that are unmounted and mounted. Maybe include in the list the detected devices without partitions, and detected partitions without volumes, as potentially unmounted. As far as behind the scenes, make all mounts driveletter-agnostic unless the user specifies an override, otherwise, allow Windows to assign drive letters....

The quest isn't how to do it. It's how to do it in accordance with VeraCrypt's checkbox settings, bizarre virtual drive letter assignments, and with proper VeraCrypt certified documentation written and distributed by VeraCrypt. Nobody knows what these checkboxes do besides the author.

bump. There is still no documentation. This thread shows up in the top search results for "Only create virtual device without mounting on selected drive letter" as those words don't appear anywhere in the official documentation.

I don't understand why you have to duplicate mountvol Z: /d either! I think this may be a simple asynchronous timing issue. If you add a TIMEOUT /T 1 then it will probably be caught up. /T 2 to make doubly sure. Why hasn't the dev added direct support for volume mount point folders?
