That depends on whether it is better to treat VMS as an embedded
target or as a host machine that you can log into and develop
software on the operating system itself.

The setup already5chosen describes is absolutely normal for headless
embedded development but OTOH, with VMS you would still need
to be logged into the machine anyway to do all the other things
associated with software development and testing for the type
of software that typically runs on VMS.
