Ooohhh, this is something that I've been meaning to get back to...
There was an atrociously bad "undoing work" issue that I popped out of hiatus to fix, and that bug was the cost of the fix. I meant to add proper support for that, but me not using splits that much (especially for the same file) as well as other commitments have prevented that.
Yeah VSCode for Vim feels like they are slowly trying to implement a subset for VSCode. This kind of iterative approach doesn't strike me as a way to build something that will finally "feel right", and overcome these limitations. Perhaps some remote vim running actual nvim code with a minimal API bridge into VSCode is more appropriate?

The maintainer of vscodevim has done a lot of work on a plugin that uses such a bridge. :-)

sounds like https://www.onivim.io/ to me
The vim bindings aren't perfect and are sometimes slow (you can see a macro insert things character by character) but about on-par with IdeaVim for the IntelliJ side feature wise.
Maybe oni [2] will catch up before vscode fixes their issues but I eagerly await a decent language server modal editing setup.
