With the further details exposed by -vvv we can see the error message when it tried to create the temp folder
sleep: cannot read realtime clock > A quick google search brings up an issue on the WSL repo about this problem https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4898. Looks like there are some workarounds in that post that indicate it's due to a recent package update that isn't handled by WSL. Ansible has no guarantees that it will work properly on WSL, while most things are fine you've encountered one of those edge cases which stop us from officially supporting/testing Ansible on this platform. There is nothing we can do here but rely on WSL implementing the POSIX syscalls that Ansible relies on.
