I would presume that GUB can target 64-bit MinGW, but I gather that this 
has not been a priority to deliver.  Perhaps one of the developers could 
speak to this more competently than I can.

Possibly; however I do not use Frescobaldi, so I cannot speak from 
experience.  Theoretically, you should only need to configure 
Frescobaldi to launch LilyPond as "wsl /path/to/lilypond" so that it 
uses the WSL instance.

You would need to make sure the WSL environment is configured properly 
for things like fonts.  There is no automatic sharing of fonts, so 
anything you have installed in Windows would not be immediately 
available to WSL LilyPond.  And since Frescobaldi can only enumerate 
fonts on the Windows side, there could be some confusion.
