URL please? Open VSX lists several but it's hard to evaluate if they're complete & stable from just the READMEs. For example, https://github.com/xaberus/vscode-remote-oss has existed for a long time, but one would need to spend a few hours to know if it works well enough.

God bless the Arch User Repo. Stuff like this has made it impossible for me to move on from Arch.

The open source remote extensions doesn't support hardware keys as ssh keys. They have an issue open for this for years now.
I use vscodium either way, you need to get used to stuff like this from time to time.
I’m sure you could diff the source code the package used, and the upstream Microsoft git SHA it is claims to be derived from:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vscodium
Incidentally, there is now an open source remote mode extension, so I have no reason to use the proprietary version. No more telemetry from me!
