It isn't a VSCodium thing but more a Gnome one.

Second link that you shared, I've read it before too.

I was under the impression that it's up to the program to store the settings of the window.

The window size and state upon program start is controlled by the application itself.

On the other hand the bug is reported on their end.

I think it's a swiss cheese issue: it's a cumulative result of small bugs in the driver, x11, gnome, snap, app. You should try the .deb. Maybe with luck, it will work... I've seen many issues resolved by removing the container (snap, flatpak, appimage, ...).
