I'm using VNC for coworking/mentoring sessions and it works very well for us (it's lower latency, higher frame rate, sharper picture than typical screen sharing, and allows both/all sides to interact with the session and use the mouse pointer to point to things). We're using Linux on both the server and client side. There's a full desktop on the remote side, to fully interact with that (to have key bindings go to the server instead of the local desktop) the client needs to be made full screen. Latency isn't really an issue even between central US and Europe.

I've automated the set up of a Debian server for the purpose using[1]. There are some details on how to run it and how to set up the client side here[2] (probably slightly outdated). Feel free to mail me about it.

You can share terminals in live share and even share servers etc. I’ve had no issues and I’ve built multiple teams that are very collaborative at this point. Dozens of engineers
