I’m open to all options to solve this problem. The main point – What are my other options to force APFS/High Sierra to accept a partition of greater than 15 GB and/or make Boot Camp Assistant actually go through with it's job.
I'm willing to restore the backup of my entire main drive from before all these shenanigans started in an attempt to get APFS to accept a partition, but I would like to know more options.

If you want to dual boot Mac OS X with Windows, you can use the built-in Boot Camp to partition your drive ready for the install. When restored, this backup did not revert back to HFS after the restore, which in turn means bootcamp assistant/disk partitioning for 15 GB+ failed. Using Boot Camp to dual boot with Windows.

However, I have an additional Time Machine backup of a clean High Sierra install which I restored to an additional APFS container on my internal disk just before writing this. (You can't install Windows on an external drive using Boot Camp.). Since then, I deleted the BOOTCAMP partition and deleted Windows from my MacBook Pro (why I did that is a complicated story). If you're not sure, choose aAbout This Mac if the Processor line says something about. So I know that (hopefully) that process will work again if I want to install Boot Camp again. After said restore and my internal disk being HFS, Boot Camp Assistant was fully successful in installing Windows 10. Now, A few days ago, I restored a Time Machine backup of my entire main internal drive via recovery mode and turns out that after that restore Macintosh HD reverted back to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) instead of APFS. When I attempt to make a partition over 15 GB, the process will fail. When I make a partition (not APFS container) that is 15 GB or less, Disk Utility will make it without problems. Here's the catch – when I make my own partition on my internal disk via Disk Utility (recovery mode and boot volume Disk Utility both have the same result) the partition will fail if I set the partition for over 15 GB. Also tried /sbin/fsck -fy in single user mode. When I run Boot Camp Assistant, the attempted installation of Windows 10 fails, giving me the error "An error occurred while partitioning the disk." Have already tried First Aid on both my macOS boot volume and in recovery mode.
