I'm experimenting since last year with the open source tool #DDEV, which enables easy and isolated local PHP dev environments for CMS software like WordPress.
My main goal is to pull a live site with as few commands as possible to my local laptop to test updates beforehand or change some styles (in a child theme).
Here is my current progress for pulling via SSH (rsync, mysqldump) from a webspace:

- DDEV: https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
- DDEV Discord: https://discord.gg/kDvSFBSZfs
For the demo video I used https://raidboxes.io/en/ as webspace host.
Maybe this is useful for you as well. If you have any cool workflows or approaches for pulling a WordPress site to a local dev project, let me know. Thanks!
Take care.
