High latency connections are a fact of life. If Emacs Tramp, for which development was started in 1998, when high latency connection were a lot more common, still has issues with high latency connections, that's not a glowing reference for its architecture.

Especially since it seems VSCode manages those connections better.

It's ok to admit your favorite tech has flaws, everything has them.

Not disagreeing with that. I am just saying that the previous post was that plugins don't have to be modified with Tramp and work transparently. The post referenced above does not disagree with that. Instead it says that tramp does not deal well with high latency connections. I think is important to be clear where the issue lies if one wants to get it fixed.
