I agree that Tramp is not great, but there's a simpler solution that works much better: `watchexec` + `rsync`.
I can set it up to watch specific file paths, and sync exactly what I need. I'm still working on the local FS, so there's no editing delay, I can use all my local tooling, and the syncing takes milliseconds. I can also make it delete files remotely when they're deleted locally. And finally, I always have a local copy once I stop working on the remote machine, which is something I always needed to sync manually with Tramp. Plus, it's editor agnostic.
This VS Code feature would make me nervous, especially now that I know what it does.
