I use SSHFS daily with my NAS on my home network. It's far faster and simpler to administer than SMB or NFS, with way less config overhead and AAA complications than the other two.
Unfortunately, it is currently semi-abandonware: https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs/blob/eadf7f104a479f0313ecd4... It works well enough for me, but there are certain issues to be aware of. For example, listening for file changes via inotify doesn't work-- and it's a double-whammy of neither SFTP nor FUSE supporting that, so it's unlikely to be fixed any time soon.

It's awesome and I use it full time, but let me tell you about four ways it has gotten into my way:
1. It tries to download and runs it's own server. It still has dependencies and for example on NixOS it won't work. (There is a package you can install to make it work.)
2. C/C++ extensions are an absolute resource hog, so much that they're banned on our shared dev machines. So half the people do without C/C++ extensions, the other half do without Remote SSH (and use rsync to build remotely).
3. A random update increase minimum versions of the servers dependencies so it wouldn't connect to dev servers one day. There's a fix now but it took a long time to get. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/203375
4. SSH agent forwarding doesn't play well with it as after reconnects the environment variables for the SSH agent socket may not match the right socket anymore.
