But sure what you ‘heard’. VNC essentially streams a video from either a real or a virtual screen. This has worked very well for all 2D applications for decades.
It’s not fancy, does nothing special, and that’s why it works. You need sufficient bandwith for the desired quality, but on LAN you’ll be fine
What’s usually problematic is fancy UI stuff that relies on a local GPU, which you don’t have. I usually disable animations.
Disclaimer: Have not used VNC in 10 years.
Also, many thinks you ask for are out of scope for VNC: clipboard, drag and drop, file access. VNC does none of those; just screen and input (keyboard, mouse, …). Not sure about audio.
