I have always thought there is no workaround for polarizing, ND and UV filters. But now I found out that I do not necessarily need any of them!
Tony & Chelsea Northrup has also plenty of other videos on photography, which you may discover useful.
UPDATE: Because I do not have the lastest PhotoShop myself, I tried to find a tool to merge handheld shots to get that ND filter workaround done. I manage to find that probably the required stitching of multiple exposures could be done with free Hugin software. That page is for stitching bracketed exposures to get a HDR image, but probably it should work just as well for this solution to get long exposure shots taken during daytime. I have not yet tested Hugin, but will do as soon as possible, and report the results here.

The free Hugin software may provide a solution to get multiple handheld exposures combined.

However, there is one exception where the subsequent filtering fails for physical reasons: These are non-metallic reflections (e.g. from leaf green, glass panes, water surfaces). You can only get rid of them with a polarizing filter - if you want to at all.
When I'm on the road with the system camera, I usually have a polarizing filter with me. But I'm honest: It's seldom so important to me that I use it.

What comes to polarizing filter, I agree that there really is no workaround for that. But as you said, it is so rare to find much use for that anyway.
I guess the bottom line is to make one consider how good or natural it actually looks if one removes the reflections.

It is the same with me, but now that I discovered that ND filter workaround, I may try taking some day time long exposures with that multiple exposure technique.
