Even the doFoo to performBar is tedious because you need to catch all instances and your find/replace script strategy might have unintended victims.
In this case indeed, it's just much more convenient.
And instantly, certainly when compared to AI.
Ruby would be the one exception I’ve worked on in my head, and for they language, ctrl+f *usually* (but not always) finds the rest.
Ruby is particularly magical with being able to evaluate methods from dynamic strings into running, production code[0]; but otherwise, languages and capable IDEs, like IntelliJ and Visual Studio just support that. I don’t happen to use VS Code, but I assume it has basic refactor, too.

Like you said, it's basically instant.
Even harder would be to update your setters from `void setFoo(Foo f) { this.foo = f; }` to fluent-style `Parent foo(Foo f) { this.foo = f; return this; }` - I'd be surprised if there's an LSP action for that at all. (I'd love to be proven wrong though)
I actually had better luck asking codex to write temporary sed scripts based on the requirements then apply them.
