Years and years ago I used an X server on Windows named Hummingbird I think, could you use a native x server for Windows and run e.g. xterms under WsL?

Yeah you can - I think xming is still the best F/oss version. But for better or worse, you get ms windows window management.

In their recent announcement, kali Linux showed off running xrdp, allowing log in via rdp to a local Linux desktop.

Yes. I have used vcxsrv and it works fine. There is also xming.
