How viable is it to use a Pi as a quick testing server by just using USB C from laptop?

In the process of getting a reasonable offer for a Pi 5 + Nvme. I wanted to run some quick webserver deployment locally as a testing environment. However I had hoped this would be portable and require minimum network connections. No ethernet, no wifi, USB C power with data in 1 cable from my laptop.

15w power output from laptop will likely be fine as I'm not putting a lot of load on the pi.

SSH directly from USB C, how viable and reliable is it?

I found the post on USB gadget mode. But I have no way of testing it before I get the Pi.

How decent is Zed as a VSCode replacement?

Out of near necessity and only having a 16GB laptop. having 2+ VSCode windows + any Agent Cli + my browser tabs open just runs too slow. I regret not getting a laptop with more ram but that's not possible right now.

Considering Zed since yesterday with the promise of performance (mainly ram usage). Feature wise is it mostly there? I mainly do a combination of Web, C#, Python and maintain a lot of different frameworks back and forth.
