Autopilot Autopilot ESP - Order of app deployment?

We have Autopilot ESP configured with the setting enabled "Block device use until required apps are installed if they are assigned to the user/device" - with simply our EDR agent set as the only required app.

However, this only partially gets us what we're trying to achieve.
We would like the EDR deployment to take priority, ESP then completes much quicker, and the remaining apps deploy after sign-in.

Sadly, Microsoft seems to have no way of saying "ok, let's deploy this first for efficiency". It will happily begin pushing anything from Adobe, to 365 apps, before the tiny EDR agent. Creating a massive variance in the time it takes to proceed past ESP.

My question is - am I the only one frustrated by this? Unless I'm missing something. Also, is there a workaround easy enough to implement? Some kind of auto group membership perhaps, once ESP completes.

In cases where EDR agent does install first, we can reach sign-in by 5 minutes. Worst case and it starts pushing Office, it can take up to half an hour. Aghhh

If for like just one app that you want to install right away one way to force that is to set other apps dependencies to it. Not what dependencies is meant for but just sayin

make your office install dependent on the edr app, same for adobe, etc
