That's what I'm probably going to end up doing too. I have to use Windows for work though, and interact with weird ass APIs that only have closed plugins though Microsoft channels though.
Like the ArcGIS Pro debugger only works with VisualStudio and VSCode, I need to be able to hook into the running process so I can set breakpoints in my scripts since their codebase is so fucked that sometimes the only way to tell what's happening is to read a dump.
I want you get away from ESRI, but it's like trying to get away from Autodesk. Even if you have a solution that works well, getting anyone to accept it is almost impossible unless they happen to have some weird nerd or a Dutchman on staff.
