I guess it would be a trade-off. Last time I had to run my code on a remote
machine I wasn't using lsp-mode yet, so I'm not speaking from experience here. I
just wanted to say that running an LSP server without the full development
environment makes the LSP server less capable, and if all the server does is
provide syntax highlighting and indentation, it might be less of a hassle to use
something else instead (e.g., elpy, or just plain old python-mode).
