Not the op, but looking at MSFT on levels.fyi at least the last level of Principal SDE (e.g. 67) would be the minimum I'd grade Copilot with. 68 or 69 would be more appropriate.

I am specifically referring to the features he lists in his comment above. E.g. ghost text, block completion, and OpenAI integration.

To add to his credit Copilot in VS proper still sucks, so I'd estimate original VS Code hack to have better skills than the whole (e.g. the sum of) VS proper Copilot extension team.
