What's the compatibility with DEC VT family (100, 220, 300, 400) like, id est can this program be used to ssh into a UNIX®️ host and do work as one would for example with PuTTY?

That is not what I asked. I asked how well this new terminal emulates DEC VT-family of terminals.

iIt would be awesome if you could ask the question on their official github issues. It would be tracked by them, hopefully. I masked similar question about ctlr + X/C command usage.. and got satisfactory response..

I visited this fully expecting it to be another javascript terminal that runs in Electron and was pleasantly surprised to see a C++ project by Microsoft instead ;-)

The Windows Terminal is in the very early alpha stage, and not ready for the general public quite yet. If you want to jump in early, you can try building it yourself from source.
Otherwise, you'll need to wait until Mid-June for an official preview build to drop.

If you want to try it, you need to:

1. Enable developer mode in Windows 10

2. Download the msix package from the artifacts page of the latest build in Azure pipelines

3. Extract the msix, with 7-zip for instance.

4. The directory which contains the application manifest should be moved to a suitable location.

5. Run in Powershell: Add-Appxpackage -Path <path>\App manifest.xml -Register

Windows Terminal appears in your start menu.

It's quite bare-bones, at this early stage, if anyone is feeling the urge to build it - might as well wait for the released previews.
