For anyone going through these issues and uneasy about disabling a whole set of checks, there is a way to pass your own custom signatures to Intelephense.

For single workspace it is very simple, you have to create .php file with all signatures and intelephense will index them.

If you want add stubs globally, you still can, but I'm not sure if it's intended feature. Even if intelephense.stubs throws warning about incorrect value you can in fact put there any folder name.

{   
   "intelephense.stubs": [
       // ...
       "/path/to/your/stub"   
   ] 
} 

Note: stubs are refreshed with this setting change.

You can take a look at build-in stubs here: https://github.com/JetBrains/phpstorm-stubs

In my case, I needed dspec's describe, beforeEach, it... to don't be highlighted as errors, so I just included the file with the signatures /directories_and_paths/app/vendor/bin/dspec in my VSCode's workspace settings, which had the function declarations I needed:

function describe($description = null, \Closure $closure = null) {
}

function it($description, \Closure $closure) {
}

// ... and so on
