Personally, I have not found reliance on remote servers to be too difficult.

When I run into slow/flaky wireless connections, I tether to my mobile/cellular network and I’m good to go.

I haven’t encountered a scenario when I was unexpectedly completely offline.
When I know I will be completely offline (eg plane), I pull my projects down locally and I’m good to go.

The only complaint I have about local development work is that Termux (android terminal emulator) has a few quirks, like no /etc/shells, or that root Linux directory is $PREFIX, or that #!/usr/bin/env ... doesn’t work, or that to paste you have to ctrl alt v ...etc
