Assuming you have a desktop or VM that is always on, then using vs code or cursor with the remote SSH and dev containers extensions installed is great. The extensions operate on top of each other transparently.

A lost or interrupted internet connection is not a big deal. Both IDEs come back right where you left off by just hitting a reload button when you come back.

They also have some black magic (which I recommend against trusting) that will bring your terminal back to a similar state to where it was when you left off. I do not recommend the built-in terminal in either IDE though, but it is there in a pinch. For long-running tasks, if you like SSH, then tmux solves your problem.
