I do this as well and it works so well I sort of forget that's how I do it until I try to change something or someone brings it up.

Have you managed to get an icon you can double click to open? I have to start WSL shell, `emacs &` then ^D. Not a huge pain, but would like a Taskbar icon

I put a small XFCE panel next to my windows taskbar. I put launchers for any windowed programs I want to launch. My .bashrc checks if the host is WSL. If the host is, then it checks for a running XFCE session. If there isn't one running, it launches the settings daemon and panel.

You could do `bash.exe -c emacs`
