I am trying to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp Assistant on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), macOS Catalina v10.15 with the dreaded fusion drive. Am I doomed to failure?

Thanks so much for your reply. When I tried again, it worked!
I asked the question because when I first tried, it hung on the "partitioning drive" step for hours. When I googled the problem, I saw there was a problem with Mojave and fusion drives (which Apple fixed in June) and some skepticism as to whether it would work in Catalina. I also saw some suggestions about performing First Aid in disk utility and resetting NVRAM. For whatever reason, that worked for me and everything was successful.
No. You should be able to install Windows on a Fusion drive.
Can you post the output of
diskutil list
diskutil apfs list
from macOS Terminal, for validation?
Excellent!
Will Boot Camp Assistant work for a fusion drive in Catalina?
