After workshopping a good way to trust the MS certificate (the obvious problem being that any PowerShell script to trust the certificate would also be untrusted), it turns out a very simple way is to just interactively import the editor services module and select Always run (verifying that the signing certificate is indeed a Microsoft Corporation one).

So:

ipmo ~/.vscode/ms-vscode.powershell*/modules/PowerShellEditorServices/PowerShellEditorServices.psd1

Then: accept_cert

That worked, I left it at CurrentUser, since I’m the only user of this computer. No errors, and the integrated console loads without issue now as well.
