At that point, "local" development environment is no longer a possibility as you would need to most likely connect to an external service to be able to consume the features this close-software provides. At that point, you are no longer within your local environment but have sort of a hybrid approach.
This is where the "reinventing the wheel comes". In case you don't want this dependency and don't want to embrace a cloud-native approach you will either need to design your own custom-made solution to replace that missing service or make a certain compromise by picking an alternative one.
You might still say it sounds "dubious", but it is an opinionated view of how I see the future of web development changing. The changes might not be so obvious now, but the trends are slowly surfacing and pointing in the direction of a cloud-native future.
