Is there any way to make my external drive not case-sensitive with out reformatting? This is maddening adobe cant install to all APFS drives. It worked fine installing all to same drive when it was exFat formatted, but because of literal 5 minute delays on restarts for Finder to mount exFat I went with APFS.

reformatting is needed. exfat is the most likely to be compatible.

No. You would need to reformat. When you partition the volume on your disk, you should be presented with 4 options for APFS formatting ( https://support.apple.com/lv-lv/guide/disk-utility/dsku19ed921c/mac ). You will need to use the non case-sensitive APFS for Adobe installations unfortunately.
