This would increase the number of threads seriously, since you can only wait for a very limited number of objects in a call to WaitFor.

I was not aware of this function until now. Thank you for pointing me towards it.
I wasn't either. It looks very interesting, but what Roland points out below is a definite problem.
But as I can see (after a quick look) the callback will not be scheduled to run in the context of the exiting thread. But this is a requirement to be able to free TLS. This is different to THREAD_DETACH which still is scheduled into the exiting thread. This might also be the reason why one should call TlsFree from there.
