I replicated the error on my WSL dev environment. The relative path location to the autoload.php file checks out, as you've already pointed out. The only way I found to resolve the issue was to use absolute paths. By using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] into the require_once call, I got the error to go away. This is a band-aid fix and doesn't address the heart of the problem, but it'll get you running.
