Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on latest Arch Linux with VSCode and the LuaLSP extension, then inspect the reported lua-language-server binary and its missing libbfd-2.38-system.so dependency. Done means the language server starts and analyzes Lua code without the shared-library error.
