5. Unable to create a symbolic link for ‘storage’ as it requires for user file uploads.

That’s also correct. The common way to setup a Laravel site on our hosting is to upload the entire project to the htdocs folder of your site, and setup a .htaccess file to route all requests to the public folder.

It should be possible to do this with .htaccess rules too. All you would need to do is redirect all paths starting with /storage/ to the /storage/public/ folder instead of the /public/ folder.

I don’t have an example for this myself, but I can help you create it if you’re unable to find the solution yourself.
