I don't use VS Code myself, but from talking with people who do, my 
understanding is that it supports LSP over SSH. (VS Code is a bit 
different in that it requires you to install a specific VS Code server 
on the remote host though, so maybe the closest analogy in Emacs would 
really be using emacsclient over TCP.)

For what it's worth, I do a *lot* of editing over Tramp and have tried 
Eglot-over-Tramp in the past. It mostly works, but it does require a bit 
of fiddling, since it seems to occasionally trigger a race condition in 
Tramp code. I vaguely recall a WIP Tramp branch that improved the 
reentrancy of Tramp code which might fix this, but I'm sure that's 
pretty tricky to get 100% right.
