VSCode contains features not available in the real opensource version. It’s a bit of a Chrome vs. Chromium situation. There’s VSCodium, but it misses some features.
There are plenty of open source remote SSH extensions in the vscodium extension library including one that will deploy the full Dev environment to the host so you can run your code there.
I don’t think so, it runs a client and a server version of VS code so all extensions, settings, debug config etc work on the target machine as if native.
Seems like a core feature a plugin wouldn’t be able to implement properly
Obviously you can run ssh in the terminal or you could network mount the filesystem somehow but it’ll be way jankier

What features exactly?
Remote SSH is the one that I need.

Aren’t those features just telemtry and the plugin store (for which there is an open source replacement btw)
Live share, remoting (running over ssh or other) and settings sync are both absent from codium, they’re the ones I know of
Lack of SSH would be a deal breaker for me.
You can obviously SSH from the terminal but unless you use some external solution you can’t open folders on remote machines in the ide
Can’t you just install a plugin for ssh?

Someone on Reddit said that this plugin works apparently. Can’t test it myself rn tho.
There’s also some issue with good VSCode when using C# & .NET
