Have you considered, RunDeck, Jenkins ( more of a CICD tool but can schedule calls which you'd have to code ), something self coded using a scheduler library in your favourite language? Not done tons with RunDeck but I believe it may have dependency management. Controlling services on Windows is just using Powershell cmdlets, you can call those out of anything that can run an EXE to call powershell.exe, easy one to cover. Lots of options but you may not easily find a one-size-fits-all util/app.

One thing to look for is a job sched util/app that allows REST API calls back in as well a pulling the log data back into the job sched system. I spend a lot of time working with AutomicUC4 job management system, it's pretty dumb and does nothing on it's own, it does however have very good dependency control between jobs and built-in scripting language that allows the job logs to be internally scanned and used to control more jobs and flows.
