Is this even possible? I enabled HyperV Paravirtualization in VB, installed Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 (after enabling all of the required settings on the guest), then installed the nfs-common package within Ubuntu. I can see the NFS shares (via showmount), but I can't get the mount to work.
Am I missing something? Is the version of Windows the problem - do I need W10 Pro?

No, I don't think it's possible. WSL2 creates a VMDK (or was it vhdx?) tucked away in an appdata folder, but that vhdx doesn't contain a complete filesystem. I suspect it's just a partition image which gets mounted by their modified kernel.
I also don't really see the point. You can download Ubuntu from Ubuntu and run all Linux tools directly in a VM. Why do you need Linux nested inside WSL2?
As to whether Hyper-v paravirtualization is a full substitute for Hyper-v: I don't know, but I rather doubt it.

Re: Mount NFS filesystems from WSL2 (Windows 10 Home guest)
I was just curious if I could get an NFS mount to work on Windows 10 Home. I guess I can try with a real-hardware W10 system, but it's not a big deal.
Thanks for the reply.
