Template wildcard data type, normalizer/analyzer for case insensitive search

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a data ingest that contains user input and want to wildcard search it. But I need the search to be case insensitive.

"normalizer": {
    "lowercase_normalizer": {
      "type": "custom",
      "char_filter": [],
      "filter": ["lowercase"]
    }
}

So I used to have this normalizer in place on a "keyword" field but that is really slow compared to the new 'wildcard' data type (allegedly).

        "type": "text",
        "fields": {
          "keyword": {
            "type": "keyword",
            "normalizer": "lowercase_normalizer"
          },
          "wildcard": {
            "type": "wildcard",
            "normalizer": "lowercase_normalizer"
          }
        }

The above however returns an error because normalizers aren't allowed in wildcard data types.
Any suggestions for how to lowercase, wildcard search using the wildcard datatype?
