Yes, LDC doesn't have a registry entry that can be used as the default. I've never used the default path myself, not sure how often it will actually work.

It has also been proposed to integrate DMD and LDC installation with the Visual D installer, I'll probably explore that road...

Yes that would be a much better solution.

As inspiration for VS integration I recommend looking at VisualGDB: https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/risc-v/

They seem to go all the way...downloading toolchains as needed for different projects/targets etc.

Not as elaborate as Visual GDB but https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases/tag/v0.50.0-beta1 now can install and update DMD and LDC now.
