Isn't that's how most LSP servers are implemented? I'm only vaguely familiar with clangd.

Yes. An LSP has to work along with the compiler, or it has to become an alternative compiler.

For example, from the article "Why LSP?" [1]

"It is known that compilers are complicated, and a language server is a compiler and then some."

It's moving in that direction, but far from all are based on their compiler still.
