Use Emacs as backend for Org Mode Babel to run in VS Code, This sound a bit of
overthinking. Why not just use Org Mode in Emacs directly? As my personal
opinion, Org Mode is just a document format (of course it's deeply integrated
with Emacs!!) But VS Code can do it in similar way. I really suggest you think
it clearly. And help VS Code team archive this.

And I really don't think suggesting improvement of Org Mode on VS Code is an
good idea here.

Any idea welcome of course. :)
