You can mount SFTP with Mountain Duck [1], from the creators of Cyberduck. Costs around $40.

I've been doing development in docker, but unrelated to that I did an upgrade to big sur and borked the machine for a few days.

Pulling the same projects to my (admittedly quite fast) linux box in the cloud is night and day for speed in docker with volume mounts. Browserfy runs 5x faster, at least. Yarn install is 10x faster.

And it's reliable. Docker's filesharing on the mac has about a 25% failure rate that any given save will be properly picked up by watch, with a complete, uncorrupted, updated file.

Fuse/sshfs exists for OSX. Seems to work okay the little I played with it.

I used fuse/sshfs quite a lot in the past, and never had much issues (I think most of my issues were with how my editor displayed and refreshed the file list, not with the actual sshfs implementation, and were similar to those on Linux/Windows.)

Lima project works on an alternative to sshfs https://github.com/lima-vm/sshwebdav

It’s not completely awful, but quite a long way from mounting a natively supported share, made worse by the already convoluted setup process that has been made worse by the project going proprietary.

Ouch, really? Cyberduck was always one of my first installs simply due to how much I spited Finder, but I didn't know things were... that bad.
