When did you test? Support for resizing landed in the client, at least, in
2018, and works fine for me.

summary: vncs: support for desktop resize extension, update devdraw
I use it regularly when I need to view web pages -- I VNC into a Vultr VPS
running Chrome.
I can't speak to the server side support, though, since I usually just use
rcpu when speaking to plan 9 systems, or drawterm when on Unix. Especially
over fast networks, I find it much more responsive, and exposing local
devices through /mnt/term makes using it much nicer.
