I'm creating a PoC (well more the MVP of a company) and this includes a scrapper which requires a very reliable connection, which I don't have locally

There are solutions to mount the remote filesystem locally and use any regular code editor

And most of them either rely on SSH+rsync, syncthing, or something along those lines - in other words, tools that will sync the files reliably, even on bad links...eventually. Never have I seen a backend that's built for editing...the remote-mount abstraction mostly works, but leaks specifically in these edge cases.

That's a good point that I didn't make clear, in my head it was implied from context. Using VSCode in this way makes you much less dependent on good SSH. When using emacs in a terminal over SSH, your whole UI is being rendered over SSH and any latency or packet loss is going to affect UI feedback and rendering. If you use VSCode Remote-SSH, you UI is rendered locally, so typing and editing work smoothly, and you don'…

why do you work remotely at all instead of just doing it all on your pc?

I usually don't even have a PC when remote, it's an Android phone. And when I do, it's a ~2005 x86 netbook - good enough for a thin client, not powerful enough to run the dev stack (which is x64 anyway).
