I once had plans to do dev work on a chromebook. I even installed gallium on one.

BUT,the biggest problem for me is the keyboard and missing a bunch of essential keys.

Not having proper function keys means it's faulty by design for me, or can I remap those Chromebook keys to f keys somehow?

Yes, the top row of keys map to F1 - F10. You can activate them if you hold the Search key while pressing them, or you can have Chrome OS "Treat top-row keys as function keys" (Settings -> Keyboard).
