PSA: filesystem performance in WSL isn't great, but it's absolutely fantastic under windows' hyperv hypervisor.

As a dev env I run CentOS on hyperv and putty into it, and map the drive with dokan+winsshfs, and it's just as performant as Linux/Mac on the same hardware

Does that mean your code repository is on CentOS inside HyperV, and use code editor from Windows to edit it?

Do you ever need to go the other direction, e.g. access NTFS-hosted files in the VM?

For that, samba/cifs share from windows, then mount from VM should work fine. I haven't tried it though.
