Take the filter off cold engine. When you warm it up all you do is fill the filter with oil.

“Anti drainback valves” leak everything out in a short time. They exist to prevent the “water hammer” effect from back flushing crud out of the filter when the oil pump suddenly stops when the engine stops.

I've a machine with a similar set up: No way to drain without getting oil on the frame.

Solution:
Dollar store has 16" x 24" x 2" deep aluminum food tray pans at six for $1.25. I buy a stack and, using plain scissors, cut notches out of the pan's walls so it can slide under. The pan catches all the drips (or in my fumbly case- The spills)

When done, I dump the oil in the collecting jug (which is also sitting in a disposable pan) and put the aluminum pan in the recycle bin (or save it for next time)

i get an old plastic drink glass,9subway0,cit a section out of 1 side big enough to get fingers in. loosen filter,slide this up against block,unscrew filter. i catches the oil and filter,and can be easily dumped to empty. keep it around,can be used several times. you may get a small amount of drips ,but can wiped up easy.

News to me!!! - For the last 50 years plus, I have understood the "drain back" prevention valve is so that oil will be available immediately at start up ie not drain back into the sump.
This is specifically to reduce the accelerated wear, that would otherwise occur, due to the delay in oil delivery, as the lubrication system primes & starts to circulate oil.

You may have to rethink your "crud" theory 😈
