I know you've shared sources about his biological parents, but do we have anything saying that Persephone took care of Dionysus? Just curious
I do ! Not long stories nor myths, but i do have some random things staying "yeah they were together or whatever". So here you go, i've recently discovered something REALLY cool:
Orphic Hymn LIII: When talking about Dionysus - "[...] who, sleeping in the sacred mansion of Persephone, suspends for three years the sacred Bacchic festival". So apparently, he can be in the Underworld. He spends at least a year next to Persephone, following how his festivities work.

Walters Museum
The Walters says: Pinakes" (singular "pinax") are decorated plaques made usually of terracotta, but also of wood, ivory, stone, or metal, which were often dedicated as offerings in sanctuaries. The holes were used to hang them within the sanctuary on walls, trees, or even on the cult image of the deity. The terracotta examples were produced by the same pottery workshops that made vases. This black-figure example shows a "prothesis" scene, the lying-in-state of the deceased on a bed, surrounded by his family members, some of whom tear their hair in mourning.
Persephone opens the chest containing Adonis pinax 490-450 BCE
"Because of his [the infant Adonis] beauty, Aphrodite secreted him away in a chest, keeping it from the Gods, and left him with Persephone. But when Persephone got a glimpse of Adonis, she refused to return him. When the matter was brought to Zeus for arbitration, he divided the year into three parts and decreed that Adonis would spend one third of the year by himself, one third with Persephone, and the rest with Aphrodite. But Adonis added his own portion to Aphrodite's."
-Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 184 - 185 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
