I suggest you have a read at https://ghuntley.com/fracture/

What you're doing is a solution but it doesn't mean it is legal nor should anyone go through that pain. Microsoft completely subverted the spirit of open-source with VSCode.

I’m opposed to having repositories for plugins. I don’t want my code editor to connect to the internet at all.

I'm not much against having repositories with plugins, extensions or whatever BUT they should be like Debian, you can just pack everything into images / a folder and use offline for ever when required. This is one of my big criticisms over Flatpak you can't simply have a working and fully offline archive of the thing that will survive forever without Internet. Same goes for modern Docker powered solutions and JavaScript frameworks.

I'm "really opposed" to having to rely o Internet connections to setup and do anything, things should be done in a way that you can have it all offline from setup to daily tasks.
