VRR can only adjust refresh down, not up.
Obviously if you run your monitor at 60 Hz - G-Sync will be limited to 60 Hz too.
Some games have an option to switch your monitor refresh rate, but many don't and will keep using what you set on your desktop.

it seems Dolphin still uses a legacy flip model for windowed mode, at least on my configuration

Dolphin has been using flip model since 2017, it should enter Hardware Composed: Independent Flip as long as nothing interferes with it.

Newer cards support Multiplane Overlays which allow G-Sync to natively function outside of fullscreen, this could be the reason.

Minecraft runs on Java (javaw.exe), so you should create profile for that.

It's not working because you haven't ticked "Enable settings for the selected display model".

does Vulkan behave the same way?

Yes. The video driver automatically converts OpenGL/Vulkan windows into exclusive fullscreen when all conditions are met.

The last time i tested it (Windows 10 21H2) - using display cloning prevented borderless fullscreen games from getting tearing (even though they still engage Independent Flip), increasing input lag a little.

Another solution is to remove all lower refresh rates with Custom Resolution Utility, so no games would be able to use them.
