But as I'm writing a book figure and table captions are essential. I've
also tried putting these figure and table floats inside a minipage without
success.

You seem to have missed the end of my message where I said I know about
this trick and actually use it extensively. The big problem is that I use
a lot of subfigures in figure floats and in this case the mentioned
ERT-trick cannot be used anymore. And I guess it is impossible
to extend the ERT-trick to this case. Therefore a real native LyX support
for individual float placement options is absolutely necessary.
