ConEmu manages the whole elevated/non-elevated situation better than Windows Terminal in my opinion.
As mentioned in the article elevated and non-elevated Windows Terminal windows are two different apps. In ConEmu they are tabs in the app.

#26> Many existing terminals support a feature whereby a user can press a keybinding anywhere in the OS, and summon their terminal application. [...] This global summon action is often referred to as "quake mode", a reference to the video game Quake, who's console slid in from the top. This is not to play Quake in WT, this allows WT to behave like the console window in Quake descendants that displays when [ ~] is presse…
That does sound helpful. Although, in Quake, you can shoot the monstrosities that vex you. You cannot do that in Windows.

In Windows Terminal, I'm sure you can create a new profile with your chosen shell prepended with "start-process -Verb RunAs" that will offer similar fuctionality.

I use the gsudo program for that gives you sudo in windows terminal and just elevates current shell.
