I have never used this 'devshell', but I take it that it is something
that adds the cross compiler to the path and possibly sets up some
environment variables like CC/CXX/CROSS_COMPILE/ARCH to point to the
cross compiler?

If so, we don't have anything quite like that, but writing a little
shell script for your project adding output/host/usr/bin to your path
and exporting those environment variables shouldn't take many minutes.

Or does it do something more special than that?
