WSL2 _is_ Linux inside a VM that's a peer of Windows. Having it connect to VPN on its own is _exactly_ what you have to do.

It is a VM with a lot of hacks. For most tasks it is good but for complicated situations it will get you.

I used to run Linux VM inside HyperV before WSL2 released, and it worked like a charm. WSL2 just adds a lot of hacks to integrate Windows & Linux experience.
