VSCode Debug fails with ""Did worker process die?"

We are seeing "Did worker process die?" constantly during programming when trying to debug an nRF5340 via VSCode.  A series of recovers of both network and application MCUs eventually allows programming to complete.  Flashing also takes a long time when it does work.  My colleagues and I are all using Mac silicon and are all hitting this issue.  This seemed to start happening a few weeks ago, possibly when the application reached a certain size.  Looks like this was reported to Nordic months ago (Case ID: 320464).  Has Nordic reproduced the issue in house? Is there a fix or workaround available?
