Here are the things that I have working:
  • Internal Bluetooth 4.0 works out without any additional kexts/patches. File transfer to android works. Low energy mode is supported. Handoff not supported (At least that's what SysInfo tells me)
  • Ethernet (using the Realtek kext)
  • iCloud tabs in Safari
Here's what doesn't work:
  • WiFi (Intel Wireless AC 3160)
  • iMessage/FaceTime
  • AirDrop
Is there any way I can enable either Handoff, Universal Clipboard, AirDrop or any other Continuity feature?

intel wireless is not supported :(
 
True, but I do have working Ethernet and internal Bluetooth 4.0. That's gotta count for at least something…
yes, you can use bluetooth for stuff but not air drop, imessage is a separate thing, some info here:

for wifi to work then you need to purchase a compatible card depending on your hardware: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.104850/
