That feels very similar to the use case I'm hoping for. I, personally, run a MBP 13" with a pile of RAM, but I often pair with people who are running low-end hardware. I've taken to spinning up a massive VM for an hour or two to make everything way faster.
I had not heard of Google Remote Desktop before, how does it do on battery life? I've found VNC really chews through the battery for me.
I found Google Remote Desktop to be quit fine on battery life? I really use it as an thin client, even stream my music and everything from the work station. Often I forget I'm not working really on that machine.
But maybe there is some special brew inside ChromeOS, so that it works that fine. All in all not bad for an ~200-300€ machine...

I am very very tempted to try this! Thank you!
