Recently, I have used both Zed[0] and VSCode[1] remotely via SSH. It works just fine, and it was painless to set up. I remember years ago last time I tried, it was a much harder process.
In Emacs it's been easy for a long time. Just use /ssh:user@host:path/to/file and it appears local. The added advantage, which I am not sure is supported by most editors is that if you want you can use the remote environment for builds, tests, etc. Like if I C-c C-c a defun it gets compiled and updated in the remote running image.
