I fully agree with Jeff that DNxHD is the way to go in regards to export especially if you ingest to take advantage of using previews in render (just like FCP/ProRes, use DNxHD wrapped as MXF). But you can export ProRes on a PC with some effort (some think it’s a hack or whatever and it’s a bit PITA but it works and is “in the field” much like many other hacks we’ve all had to do to get the job done).
Beyond your final output codec constraints, edit native – works great.

Just to add, there is a neat little program called Junction Link Magic (https://www.rekenwonder.com/linkmagic.htm) that let’s you point certain default locations to another drive. I use it for the Pictures folder, Google Chrome cache, Lightroom Catalog and other non-critical locations which can rapidly fill up a smaller SSD.

You can if you use Debugmode Frameserver, AviSynth and FFMPG.

One more thing – you could right click on each clip, select nest and in AME select all the new sequences. Then batch render them out as you wish.
-
You could try the Project Manager. Select only the timeline you want in the source, exclude unused clips, collect and copy to new location. They will be in the format they were originally (and some long gop formats won’t be trimmed). You could then take the new folder of assets and batch them in Media Encoder. Sorry if it’s not practical – just spit-balling 🙂

I would send to After Effects, separate each clip to it’s own layer and run a script to send each layer to the render queue.

Just spreading the gospel… you can encode directly to ProRes on the PC from Premiere and AME using DebugModeFrameServer, AVISynth and FFMPG. A little scripting, no batch but pretty easy and no intermediate encoding needed.
Not ideal for every workflow but for some, like me, it’s all I need to output ProRes when I need it with no extra time spent encoding intermediate files.

I use Avisyth, DebugModeFrameserver and FFMBC (I believe Cinec also uses FFMBC?). Encode from Premiere or Media Encoder to DebugModeFrameserver, pass the script to FFMBC and get a ProRes mov right away. No intermediate needed. It’s a little bit of a hassle at first but if you don’t need to batch encode from Premiere it’s not to bad once you’ve done it a few times to set it up.
Install AviSynth, DebugModeFrameServer and ffmpeg/ffmbc
Use DebugFrameServer (from Premiere/Media Encoder) to save an avi file like “temp.avi”.
In the same directory create a text file named “temp.avs” with this one line:DirectShowSource(“temp.avi”)
Use this avs file as a source for ffmbc
Open a CMD window in the directory and paste “Set Path” (Set path=C:Program FilesFFMBC_32bin;%path%) where your FFMBC is installed, then paste ffmbc script:
ffmbc -i temp.avs -threads 16 -vcodec prores -profile hq -pix_fmt yuv444p10 -acodec copy output.mov -
