IL2CPP and __makeref for ECS Components

Hello, this is semi related to DOTS for me since I'm restricted to ECS component structs.
I'm trying to make my component structs serializable but without having to write the code by hand with a basic interface. For example, if you have Serialize and Deserialize methods on the interface, every struct type that wants to implement that interface has to do so in each struct definition.

I was looking into reflection, which while costly on its first use, could be used if the type information is cached. Such as FieldInfo[] that is provided by type.GetFields() . I can store that on initialization for each implementation of the interface, and then when I want to Read or Write values to the component - I'd do something like

Code (csharp):

1. void Deserialize(ref Reader reader)
2. {
3.     Vector3 deserializedVector = reader.ReadVector3();
4.     var serializeableStruct = default(SerializeableStruct);
5.     FieldInfo vectorField = static_CachedFields[0]; // type.GetFields()[0] equivalent but was stored somewhere prior on load
6.     TypedReference refToStruct = ___makeref(serializeableStruct);
7.     vectorField.SetValueDirect(refToStruct, deserializedVector);
8. }

This however does not appear to work with IL2CPP from what I'm reading, TypedReference is no good?

Is there perhaps some Unity black magic somewhere in the DOTS package(s) that could help me achieve what I'm trying to do?
