On Windows I just have the files/repo checked out on the WSL side. At least JetBrains' products handle that very effectively (you get a performance drop the other way with that back to windows side, of course, but IntelliJ/PyCharm/etc handles that with a local cache and some magic making it behave as expected).
One other issue this also solves is that volume mounts from windows don't inotify correctly, so hot reloading doesn't work properly. But with files on the WSL side that works fine.
