That's the entire appeal of WSL (for me). A single source checkout I can work on from both sides; no inconsistency of forgetting that I need to apply changes twice.

Without it, I can just as well ssh into another box.

I've generally found it better to do it other way around - keep all the stuff in Linux partition and from Windows side access that over the virtual network share \\wsl.localhost\<Distro>\home\me\whatever

I do this on wsl1 without issue. wsl2 has an experimental new virtual (or just remote?) fs you can enable but I have not tested it.
