The .NET Core drivers are actually very nice, it's a simple nuget package you install in your application and nothing else is needed. The only thing needed if interacting with DB2 on the IBMi is to push the DB2 Connect server license key to the IBMi and that's it.
How "nice" the drivers are was never an issue. The issue is that
connecting to IBM i using that method requires Db2 Connect. (In other
words, requires a lot of money. If you don't already have Db2 Connect,
the likelihood is that you aren't going to anytime soon.)
The ODBC driver for IBM i is free. And it works well enough for most
people, including Richard Schoen, who is probably the biggest .NET
proponent I know of among IBM midrangers.
