JetBrains has an official DevContainer extension for a while now[0], though I can't vouch how well it works.

I've seen devcontainers used in various projects, and how it further leads to a bigger divide between dev and ops. Your team should standardize on a single OS and software stack and life will be easier, + developers will also learn something about Ops and the systems they deploy to. I know, unpopular opinion, with the pervasiveness of Kubernetes and backend systems developed on Macs.

JetBrain's implementation is far worse, though I hope Fleet will be their saving grace.
I tried JetBrains version first. Sadly it doesn't really work well.
