As a developer, I regularly work with PostgreSQL in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). In using it for sandboxing and testing, the only notable idiosyncrasy that I have encountered is the appearance of these warnings on startup.

Unfortunately, workstation OS is not always a choice, but WSL has so far offered a productive (and built-in!) option for running Linux-based tools on Windows.

I can't imagine running a production server from WSL, but it is a refreshingly simple way to spin up local dev databases. It would be great to see the community take an interest in supporting PostgreSQL in WSL, if only in the context of its use as a development tool.

I lost here.   If you're forced to run windows as the principle OS run windows-based postgres.  If you wish to use the ubuntu as a dev environment can you not connect from there to the native Postgres instance.
