  Seems overly complicated. I installed Docker CE right from docker.com in Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2 with only 2 'issues' both due to lack of systemd:

    1.) Missing cgroups under /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd
         mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd
         mount -t cgroup -o none,name=systemd cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd
        
    2.) No launch at 'startup'
        put the docker start in your .bashrd
  

  Also, 'Kind'(1) works really well for setting up K8s envs in WSL2
