My opinion is that you are only reinventing a wheel and the same functionality I can achieve also with any Vim plugin for Intellij Idea or MS Code.
With difference that with Vim plugin I can be more powerful and cannot still keep the Caps Lock..

Well it is quite personal. I did not mention in my post but I use vscode and VIM extension for vscode has weird bugs. Also I prefer to keep pressing capslock rather than toggling functionality because I usually find myself confused about which mode I am in. But again this is quite personal.

It is only about a habit. When you will use it for some time so then it become the new norm for you :) With toggling you can have more various modes which you can combine (normal, input, select, record macro, etc..) without using of mouse or any other additional keyboard keys. This make vim so powerful without any other plugins.
Now I am using IntelliJ Idea with Vim plugin and it works perfect. VS Code I tried in the past without any big problem but I am not using it right now so I don't know what bugs can be there.. :)
