If this works remotely as well as the Windows version, I'm stoked. Polling for information (like with lsof) really rubs me the wrong way.

really? i have to use procman and associated utilities often and they really pale in comparison with linux and even moreso other unix utils (like dtrace)

Windows Server 2025 supports dtrace out of the box: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administrat...

But is it like the "real" dtrace or is like how PowerShell wget isn't actually wget but an alias for Invoke-WebRequest?

Two seconds of investigation yields that it is a port of dtrace.

Well, true, but I'm not in a position to understand what that means. I remember talks about dtrace in Linux way back when and something about how "it's not the same thing, you have to add support in all of userspace which is not there" or something like that.
