Docker Compose with .env overrides is very close to an ideal local dev environment, the only downside is if you don't use Linux you can hit some I/O bottlenecks (it got better with VirtioFS in Docker Desktop but still not native-speed).. I still wait for properly usable remote work environment that trumps local in performance and convenience.... I feel like the VS Code approach with server-client IDE architecture and the client running as a web application is going in the right direction but not quite there yet.., Especially if you can leverage lots of RAM and GPU power in your workflow and often work from different locations, don't want to carry your laptop around but still want to use the same power, environment & configuration on any machine you work from....
