From my experience, trying to boot up the entire platform on developer's laptops (or remote cloud servers) for each developer is something doomed to fail and cause pain, whatever you use. My best experience so far, has been to start services individually, and work with mocks and tests. And do integration on a shared staging environment or, even better, have a way to deploy multiple versions to the same env (like you can do with App Engine, Vercel, etc). I hope I never ever again have to work at a place where I need to replicate the entire platform for my development environment.
