It would be cool to have the possibility to declare an array instead of a single string. So to launch commands on multiple machines

Thanks so much for this extension!

While this could be added, it wouldn't be ideal and very logical. How should output be shown and made distinct per server? What if one of the hosts is unreachable or exits mid-task? And so on.

VS Code already supports something called compound tasks, which you could use for this:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Run on all servers",
            "dependsOn": [
                "Server A",
                "Server B"
            ]
        },
        {
            "type": "ssh-shell",
            "label": "Server A",
            "command": "echo Running on server A which is $HOSTNAME",
            "host": "server-a"
        },
        {
            "type": "ssh-shell",
            "label": "Server B",
            "command": "echo Running on server B which is $HOSTNAME",
            "host": "server-b"
        }
    ]
}
