Been looking into this more and I'm personally hesitant to buy a MacBook Pro. Mostly for the points about breakable portables really getting to me.
I do like to work remote and from a variety of locations for my side projects. A laptop is best for me.
But dangit if I want to spend on a MacBook of any variety. Even a beefy Linux laptop is going to run $1000-$1500.
So after digging a bit I've decided to go with AWS WorkSpaces. It gives me a place to log into from any machine and I can buy a fairly cheap thin client or even zero client.
I've used it for a few days and I'm pretty excited about it. And a two month free trial is a good test run to see how it works out for me. I have VS Code installed and some of my projects already cloned there.
Not sure which portable client I'm going to get yet, but scoping them out now and should be able to get something really nice for sub $500.
