I use WSL for NodeJS professionally, and I can't find any troubles. It was hard to get to the point were my terminal was easy to look at, but that's it. There's also a great community of Windows employees bettering Windows Console, with honesty and humbly (they even created a themer that reads iTerm2 style files). With a bit of patience, you can get it to the point where you never look back. Also, very important: my employer disables real-time protection, which otherwise would make WSL unbearably slow. Make sure you test on an old PC before committing fully to it.
