It seems that the file name should be /etc/systemd/system/wsl-instance-${WSL_DISTRO_NAME}.mount instead (with extension .mount). In addition, make sure there is no hypen - in WSL_DISTRO_NAME! Or an error Where= setting doesn't match unit name. Refusing. will occur (unix.stackexchange.com/a/345518/438616). One simple solution in this case is to replace all ${WSL_DISTRO_NAME} with a name without hypen.

One minor suggestion as I read through it in detail - Perhaps change the filename to just /etc/systemd/system/wsl-instance.mount -- There's really no reason to have a unique filename based on the distro_name, right?

As of 1.0.0 last year, it runs under Windows 10 as well.

I like it -- Like I said in my answer, this should be a reliable way to get around the timing issue, so I'm really glad you took the time to document the proper configuration! Systemd mounts also (IIRC) some additional flexibility with dependency management and timing. Users can even mix-and-match, using your System configuration in distributions where they have it enabled, and the boot option I mention in others. They'll still be accessible in both directions. Great first answer!
