I have essentially this setup -- A decently powerful Win10 machine connected to three large monitors and I connect via X11 over wired gigabit Ethernet to my Linux work machine using Mobaxterm in Win10. It's the best of all worlds -- personal and work machines are completely separate, work apps show up as individual windows on my desktop machine, pure Linux dev environment that matches the prod environment, and no messing around with multi-monitor HiDPI setups in Linux when it "just works" in Windows.

That sounds like a good set up. I've used Mobaxterm (now VcXsrv) to run graphical apps inside of WSL but that would totally work with a separate Linux machine too. The user experience was really good. Google is hinting that this should be doable even if you want to forward apps from macOS to your main Windows box. Only downside is the taint factor is still there too since it's SSH'ing from your personal box into your work box.
