To me, the server configuration is a Lisp value to the same extent that
my ~/.config/pycodestyle or .clangd files are.  IOW, not at all.  Except
that, due to Microsoft reasons, the server doesn't read its own
configuration file as has been done since the dawn of civilization and,
instead, we need to intermediate this.

So the best and least vscode-oriented UI is the one that lets the user
edit the configuration as if it was a config file.  If it is presented
as in sexp or JSON or YAML or TOML format is immaterial (I dislike the
sexp format a bit because it leaks details about how jsonrpc.el
represents null, false and the empty mapping.)
