Absolutely. I am not installing VSCode on production VMs, the step I described is purely for setting up a portable developer environment. Then instead of telling other developers to install a laundry list of tools I can just give them a copy of my VM. Throw in something like Vagrant and it's easy to share a standard work environment. Then to roll things into production it's another game.
