You  might find our recent ESOP paper relevant:

Zeeshan Lakhani, Ankush Das, Henry DeYoung, Andreia Mordido, Frank Pfenning:
Polarized Subtyping. ESOP 2022: 431-461
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-99336-8_16__;!!IBzWLUs!QrMnoLw8qFRxtzf2zu5w8Gc14aO6rhn_cCBMv4Q0dczTVPBFrRikSVu7fiARjhLIovnBm3oBBgYJ2dYwzqkdvV8$
 

There are some further references in that paper in the related work section.
A version with polymorphism, but without explicit polarization
(essentially: all types
are interpreted coinductively because they are session types) can be found
in

Ankush Das, Henry DeYoung, Andreia Mordido, Frank Pfenning:
Subtyping on Nested Polymorphic Session Types. CoRR abs/2103.15193 (2021)
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.15193__;!!IBzWLUs!QrMnoLw8qFRxtzf2zu5w8Gc14aO6rhn_cCBMv4Q0dczTVPBFrRikSVu7fiARjhLIovnBm3oBBgYJ2dYwMw8Y7mY$
 

There we show that a natural formulation of the problem in the presence of
polymorphism
is undecidable, but also give an algorithm that has performed well for us
in practice.
