Sorry to hear of your problems.
Can you share a screenshot of the VScode Terminal complete with what is in it that shows it's not working?
Also I'm a but confused, you say even unpatched Fira Code is not working?
The correct familyname is FiraCode Nerd Font Mono:
$ fc-list | grep Fira
/home/fini/.local/share/fonts/FiraCodeNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf: FiraCode Nerd Font Mono:style=Regular
For my VS Code settings, I write down the font I want to use first (in the font section). For example:
Fira Code Nerd Font Mono, Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace
Is this the problem?
Better to put 'FiraCode Nerd Font' or 'FiraCode Nerd Font Mono' in quotes This is how it works for me in Mac VSCode and Zed editors.

@lknite The problem is that you're putting Fira Code at the end.
