I haven't had any trouble. I'm running an elixir project that I'm testing over localhost, and you don't have to do any port magic whatsoever. Just run the app in WSL and go to localhost:port in your browser. The only problem I've had is if you do any of your development in the windows part of the filesystem, you might run into weird file locking issues, but I haven't had many of those.

Also, the WSL extension for VS code makes it hardly noticeable that you're even working in windows.
