This has been changed. WSL 2 VM now runs a 9p file server, and on the Windows side it mounts to \\wsl$. Of course, the performance are degraded. It would certainly take longer for Intellij to index your project.

WSL 1 also supports the 9p file server and \\wsl$, you just have to upgrade to at least Windows 10 1903.

(Also, hints are that Microsoft is exploring adding shortcuts to \\wsl$ directly to the File Explorer left hand tree.)
