Should work - I tried that mapping for a while, but found it interfered with
asking Windows utilities for help e.g. cmd /? had to be cmd /\?:

$ ls -d /?/\$RECYCLE.BIN
'/c/$RECYCLE.BIN'  '/d/$RECYCLE.BIN'  '/g/$RECYCLE.BIN'
$ ls -d /proc/cygdrive/?/\$RECYCLE.BIN
'/proc/cygdrive/c/$RECYCLE.BIN'  '/proc/cygdrive/d/$RECYCLE.BIN'
'/proc/cygdrive/g/$RECYCLE.BIN'
$ cmd /c ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.615]
$ uname -srvmo
CYGWIN_NT-10.0 3.0.7(0.338/5/3) 2019-04-30 18:08 x86_64 Cygwin

What does mtab show:

$ head /etc/mtab
C:/cygwin64/bin /usr/bin ntfs binary,auto 1 1
C:/cygwin64/lib /usr/lib ntfs binary,auto 1 1
C:/cygwin64 / ntfs binary,auto 1 1
C: /c ntfs binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
D: /d ntfs binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
G: /g ntfs binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
