Xming on Windows isn't exactly a walk in the park either -- I'd still rather use the native, proprietary build of VSCode on a proprietary OS with the SSH extension if I'm on a high-DPI screen.
Even accessing machines remotely via Xrdp has huge issues because once you create the session with a certain DPI, logging into the session from a different DPI machine means you're stuck reading either extremely tiny or extremely huge text
I work every day with a 4K monitor and a 1080p monitor side-by-side and it works well. Linux couldn't handle it in any configuration, especially with mixed Intel integrated+nvidia graphics, but Windows is a champ.
Obviously it's not so great with Xwayland, definite blurriness there. But to compare, the only workable X11 setup was one that ignored my 4K screen entirely and the whole thing was blurry.
More than enough time to catch up.
Afaik there's no official vscode build on ozone.

But yeah, with VSCode WSL remoting, there's just no particular reason to do that anymore.
Just for fun, I tried loading a Word document in LibreOffice - I can see the redraw lagging behind scrolling, but it's still usable enough even when typing.
