I can't answer all your questions, Jan Lahoda, who is working on this area can tell you more, but note in general that LSP integration doesn't -- and can't -- provide everything you need out of the box, e.g., no syntax coloring at this point, this is the closest to it:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node/pull/367 I.e., a variety of things need to be 'configured on the client side', which is a nice way of saying -- 'good luck buddy, create a plugin in your tool if you want to make use of this feature'.
