Positron isn't supposed to be a replacement for RStudio for all use cases (especially not this early in its lifecycle!). If you open your package folder in Positron (as opposed to the Rproj file itself) I think you'll find it has most of the commands you need for package development in the Palette.
We do hope to add better GUI tooling for project-level actions; more info here: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/1486

The only issue with this is the lack of copilot. Copilot can be installed on VSCodium [1] but it breaks often.

"Does what it intends to do reasonably well" is going to be widely subjective, depending on whether the user's use-case is statistical/life-sciences vs more general purpose coding and relying on many packages; whether the user uses base-R, or tidyverse/data.table, etc.
Here's one of those many discussions:
