As I don't yet understand well enough what are your problems with
variable-pitch fonts, I cannot say whether looking at fixed-pitch
fonts will identify the same problems or quite different ones.  But
I'm okay talking about the latter if that's what you want.

So what are your problems with fixed-pitch fonts?  The size problem
doesn't sound serious to me: why does it matter that you need to
select a slightly different size in Emacs?

Line spacing differences is probably due to spacing added by VSCode.
You can do that in Emacs as well: see the documentation of the
'line-spacing' variable.  The default in Emacs is not to add any
spacing between lines.
