Frequent extensions host crashes on Positron for Posit Workbench: renderer closed the socket

Issues related to Workbench category.
We're observing frequent crashes in the extension host in Positron for Posit Workbench. These don't seem to happen in VS Code.
Some logs from @jthomasmock suggest that the problem is that the "renderer closed the socket". Here is the relevant bit of the logs, showing where extension host pid 7642 terminated and was restarted with a new pid 7804.
Extension host terminations and restarts are annoying but Positron has machinery to survive them. However they create a lot of disruption in the end user experience and make things look flaky (see e.g. #5444). In addition, we have observed situations in which Positron does not successfully sort things out after the extension host terminates.
Because we have only seen these errors on Workbench, the fact that they are happening due to a closed socket suggests that there maybe an SSL or connectivity issue in play.
