Same having this issue even after trying many things.
I am having the same issue, the sidepanel of codex does not load in WSL mode in Windows or in a Remote WSL session, but loads with no issues without WSL.

Going to version 0.4.15 of the Codex Extension fixes the issue, everything after that does not load.
Closing out old bugs.
