In general, thread_local in DLL-s with MSVC++ is working fine. I have 
not seen any issues in production for several years.

There are some limitations, one cannot dll-export a thread_local 
variable. But why would one want to do that?

There are also mentions in MS documentation that thread local variables 
might not work so well before Windows Vista. But who remembers those times?

There are also problems that thread_local storage is initialized in 
DllMain and so might not be properly initialized when accessed in old 
threads which existed before dynamically loading the DLL. But it looks 
like your solution does no better, it's using the same DllMain mechanism 
and looks pretty simplistic.

If you insist you have solved a problem then you should first 
demonstrate the problem, then show how your solution fixes that.
