Answering myself in case someone finds this useful in the future.

Several people recommended VSCode so decided to give it a try. I found this
guide which describes very well what you need to do to get VSCode working
for a php-src project hosted in a docker container. Works brilliantly, I am
able to work with the code in the container using all VSCode features,
including debugging with GDB. Nice!
