Thank you for reporting this.
The main cause for this issue is that phpcs and phpcbf (and php) are all running inside ddev container.
VSCode is not aware of that, and /workspace/.vscode-remote is a directory on the host, that doesn't exist in the container.

I'm not sure yet what's the best way to solve it. Ideas welcome :)
