I usually don't use a local web server: php -S localhost:8000 is usually enough, because normally you don't have to check for SSL in PHP. I don't use virtual hosts since forever, I just run php -S on different ports. For email catch-all I usually use Gmail pseudo aliases: myrealaddress+somerandomshit@gmail.com
For database management PHPMyAdmin is quite terrible: I use SQLyog, is for windows but run perfectly on linux with wine; the community version is fine, the commercial one has some tools very useful (code autocompletion with database references, synchronization tools of database data and/or structure).
Add just and IDE, whatever you want. With this environment I can do the 99% of my work. Every time I tried docker I got stuck, wondering "why I'm doing this?"

I agree, most of the time
php -Sis good enough and simpler than a web server.
