Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to set up a full node with Electrs + Tor on Windows?

I can't find anything about it.....

While there's no single tutorial which cover all of them, you could find tutorial which only do one of those.

Download Tor expert bundle from https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/ and then follow this tutorial, https://superuser.com/a/1631196 to setup Tor as Windows service.
Configure Bitcoin Core to use Tor with this guide, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Setting_up_a_Tor_hidden_service#Windows.
As for setup/configure Electrs, i couldn't find any guide for Windows. So your current choice is only follow @nc50lc suggestion.

But IMO it's more convenient to do this either on Linux-based OS or WSL (if you prefer to continue using Windows).

I can't find any either, probably because it's more inconvenient than installing it in other platforms.

Anyway, for building Electrs: This might work (but as a disclaimer, I haven't fully tested this):

Install Rust and its dependencies, you can download it from: https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started
Download the latest release of Electrs from: https://github.com/romanz/electrs/releases
Extract it somewhere, e.g.: in C:\Rust\electrs-0.9.12
Open your "Command Prompt" and CD to that directory.
Then run the command: cargo build --locked --release --no-default-features

You should see something like this in the command prompt window:

info: syncing channel updates for '1.48.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc'
info: latest update on 2020-11-19, rust version 1.48.0 (7eac88abb 2020-11-16)
info: downloading component 'cargo'
info: downloading component 'clippy'
info: downloading component 'rust-docs'
-snip-
  Downloaded regex v1.5.6
  Downloaded serde_json v1.0.93
  Downloaded signal-hook-registry v1.4.0
  Downloaded tiny_http v0.12.0
  Downloaded winapi v0.3.9
  Downloaded electrs-bitcoincore-rpc-json v0.17.0-e1
  Downloaded instant v0.1.12
  Downloaded electrs-librocksdb-sys v6.11.4-e3
  .
  .
  .

If nothing went wrong, it should be able to build Electrs.
If it failed to build, post the error that you got and maybe some other users can help or check the documentation for possible missing dependencies.

Setting Tor with Electrs should be similar with other OS, just refer to their documentation: https://github.com/romanz/electrs/tree/master/doc

Sorry it is not really the answer to your question, but in my opinion, the best solution would be a RPI 4 with Raspiblitz :

https://openoms.github.io/bitcoin-tutorials/electrs/Tor_Hidden_Service_for_Electrs.html

Windows is not safe, offers low privacy features, is not open source and is not as stable as a Linux distribution in general (for example : mandatory updates, BSOD and other Microsoft shit)
