The latency annoys me. The editor zed.dev might make this better (fast editor can connect to cloud ssh). Pick a backend in your region and it might be OK. Depends on other things. Using Windows for example might make cloud more attractive as most dev work is done on linux. WSL is a bit sucky to use. And uses a lot of disk space and you need a decent amount of RAM for two operating systems. On a fast mac you might prefer local unless the dependencies dont support M chips. But the main pitfall will be latency and maybe cost and possibly not being able to work without internet.
