About point 2, this can be done with vscode using this extension

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscod...

This explains it https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh-tutorial

There's a similar extension to work within containers https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscod...

Emacs has TRAMP as well out of the box, but for some reason they want o launch a lightweight cli instance of emacs on the serverside, which VSCode can't do.

If you have more than one ssh hop or a remote desktop in-between Tramp isn't an option.

Tramp works through multiple SSH hops just fine:
