Feasibility Question: Embedded Editors / Custom Clients

[micimize]

Hi - I know this is out of scope for this project, but I'm guessing y'all have highly relevant domain knowledge and may be interested in the same question.

My core idea is to render a vscode editor within another application, and connect that to the server so that editor instance has all the same LSP features, etc. I could also see a similar approach making sense for file explorer and other components. Essentially, the idea is to be able to reuse vscode's mature server-side and even client-side code to roll custom dev clients that compromise on none of it's capabilities.

So the question is: Have y'all considered this possibility at all, and where on the feasibility spectrum does this idea sound, from "just pull out a component and wire it properly" to "the frontend is a total monolith that isn't even worth attempting this with?"
