Am also evaluating migrating to chrome for all development. Currently using a re-purposed core-i5 work laptop, that boots lubuntu into ram. Runs vs code quite spiffily. As well as standard lxterm. And a complementary ubuntu micro instance that has been on forever on gcloud ;)

ChromeOS supports Linux via a custom container or VM. So you have access to all ChromeOS APIs. I assume virtualized graphics hardware will be accessible as well. Android Studio with device debugging bridge should also be available shortly. As will the ability to run most apk binaries.

Main concern is probably in choosing a 64-bit ARM based laptop. Such as the hexacore Samsung model. Eventually I can foresee running into a portability issue. Perhaps with a library dependency. Or digital content creation tools such as Blender or Adobe. Will always have a cloud instance or backup gaming laptop running Win10 to fall back on. But for mobile development and meetings in cafes, I think it will prove ideal.
