With WSL, shouldn't it be possible to use any native Linux file system?

Only sort of. Windows communicates with WSL via 9p, which has decent performance but is still a network protocol. It certainly isn't possible to mount an ext4 filesystem on D: with native performance.

Does this mean I can use libvirt to expose a directory on my system via 9p and use it within Windows?

Maaaybe. Hadn't considered the option, honestly.
