I ssh directly into WSL but for setting it up (auto-start, recovery, etc.) I ssh into PowerShell (which I hate). A TUI would go a long way there because no one wants to learn PowerShell.
FWIW I started reverse engineering the WSL2 API -- it's not terribly complicated to do most tasks without the CLI (which is clunky IMO, as it had a number of times where it changed in backwards/forwards incompatible ways)

You can use wsl.exe from powershell to manage wsl.
