vscodium isn’t immune to the problem tbh - put it behind a gating proxy (mitmproxy or something is probably easiest) and watch just how chatty it still is (for plugin mechanism etc)
the entire design of how the vscode ecocystem is put together is in service of their telemetry aims, imo. they may argue it’s “for safety” or whatever, but it’s just control and surveillance. alternative options that don’t do this shit exist and operate just fine
At that point I’m pull out full blown vscodium but to each their own, i didn’t learn keybinds so terminal mouse support was cool enough for me.

Yes even codium runs behind whonix or with a limited jail. I’m usually doing quick edits with nano so it works
