Workaround: use a Bluetooth keyboard.
Workaround #1: Modify Keyboard Dispatch Settings

1. Open the Command Palette
2. Search for "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"
3. Add `"keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode"`

The backspace button should work now.
(Thanks to @Nefomemes for the suggestion! See [comment](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1141#issuecomment-789463707))

Workaround #2: use a Bluetooth keyboard.
