This is also how I use eglot. I only do my coding inside of explicitly
versioned and reproducible containers.

FWIW, eglot natively supports Tramp, meaning it will spawn the LSP on
the remote, as long as you are also accessing those files
remotely. There's no need to change the value of ‘eglot-server-programs’
in this case.
