the updates being a single image has nothing to do with homebrew. The OS is a single image that gets updated, that 100% the same that every user will get daily or weekly (depending on what branch/stream you are on).

Homebrew or flatpaks don't pollute the base image

What issues does vscode have? I haven't noticed anything, although my vscode usage is pretty minimal.

Homebrew is great and we will be using it a lot more in the future.
