Is there a way to force the Windows Terminal to start maximized (not full-screen - I still want my taskbar to be there) by default?

Open the Command Prompt and press Alt + ↵ Enter to make it full-screen. Press the keys again to switch it back.
Launch the Windows Terminal by right-clicking on the Start button. From the drop-down option near the + symbol, select the Settings menu. From the Settings tab of Windows Terminal, select the Default Terminal application as Terminal.
You can open the terminal settings through the dropdown menu or by pressing Ctrl + , on your keyboard. From v1. 7, the JSON file that contains all the terminal settings is no longer open by default as was the case in earlier releases.
You can also use the command palette to toggle on/off the focus mode. When you are in the focus mode, press Ctrl + Shift + P shortcut keys to access the command palette. The interactive command palette feature will pop up with a list of actions that you can run inside Windows Terminal.
In addition to what @Petar said, since preview v.1.1.1671.0, --fullscreen and --maximized are two optional switches for the wt execution alias if you're automating something and trying to run the terminal maximized only sometimes.
So, these two ways of launching the terminal from the command line are now an option:
wt --maximized
wt --fullscreen
If you mean the new Windows terminal (preview), that is possible with adding:
"launchMode": "maximized"
to the "globals" section
