It's not perfect, but if you buy Parallels, it does have automated ARM-based setup of Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Kali. Which makes more sense anyway - then you are running 2 VMs on your host, instead of a VM and a VM inside a VM (because WSL2 is just a lightweight VM).

It does use Hyper-V if I remember correctly.

To date, nested virt on m1/m2 is not possible which is a huge bummer.

You should be able to run WSL1 inside an aarch64 windows vm however.
