it's the common curse for emulators - Cygwin, Wine, WSL1 - subset of features of supported and not always right/can be done right. And you always chasing the origin with a lot of efforts.
I highly doubt things like mounting filesystems ( I do run BTRFS for LXD in my WSL2 system) or other just-slightly-beyond-posix things would work reliably or at all with such kind of emulation that WSL1 do. In other words - it would never be Linux enough as native Linux (with VM type of WSL2).
I.e. I still use both WSL1+WSL2, but WSL1 is basically a very small shim when I need some socat/grep/shell & where it needs to share networking with main system, while main work is much better in WSL2.
