> Does this allow to get rid of the forced OneDrive rooted top-directory?
Nothing is forced to be kept on OneDrive. The top directory for the ADI symbols/models has been in %LOCALAPPDATA%\LTspice since the introduction of version 17.1.
Previously, in version XVII, the ADI symbol/model directory was in Documents\LTspiceXVII, and thus OneDrive. So if you still have that LTspiceXVII directory, it is left over from XVII.
LTspice 24.* look for some user files in Documents\LTspice by default, but that path can be changed in Settings > Search Paths.
