For many years now, I've had one or two NTFS partitions on my dual-boot machine (Win7/Ubuntu), which are regular drives in Windows, and which are volumes mounted with all files set to 777 permissions in Linux. Have never had any problems with corruption, access denied, etc. Works great for volumes that mainly contain documents and media (and some Windows executables). But you can't mount "/" and co like that, and similarly, I can imagine that it would be inadequate for WSL, which stores many system files on NTFS, where many of those files have to use more restrictive permissions (e.g. 600 for many core binaries / configs), otherwise errors result.
