My experience has been very different, rust-analyzer works seamlessly in my VSCode environment, even moving from the remote WSL plugin to the remote SSH plugin. I've had zero issues with it, and it feels truly magical, when I first installed it and saw what it could do (and how fast it it) I was actually blown away. I really can't overstate how great it has been. I can't speak to your experiences obviously, but based on mine I would recommend that anyone on VSCode gives it a shot immediately.
