@jdarch, thanks for the hint about node. It appears node location is hardcoded into corresponding CMakeLists.txt. I've played a bit with project files and structures, managed to remove dependency of bundled node, then build it against the system node.
I had no time to test the result yet (anyway I don't have copilot), however you might give it a try and let me know if it works. Experimental PKGBUILD (and other files) can be downloaded here:

Pushing this to AUR without thoughtful tests looks as a bad idea to me.

A note for users.
This package is quite complex. It MAY not be built because of OTHER issues. I always build, install and test it on at least two different machines. Only after that I would push a new version to AUR.
Please try some generic solutions before reporting of build problems:
1) Update all other packages (sudo pacman -Syu),
2) Clean up yay and/or makepkg caches ('yay -Sc', 'rm -rf /var/tmp/makepkg'),
3) Be sure you've got enough RAM (8 GB or more is highly recommended) and space on disk (at least 3 GB).
4) Is your Internet connection is stable, fast and not blocked somewhere?

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE BEFORE COMPLAINING FOR LIBBOOST
When boost is updated to a new version and you see an error message about missing libboost*.so, you will need to rebuild and reinstall the rstudio-desktop package.

Build logic is slightly changed due to changes in upstream. As they've introduced new project format (quarto), it contradicted with standard Arch package base. In brief, quarto contains pandoc as part of itself, so it's pretty hard to keep together system pandoc and embedded quarto.
So I've "resolved" it such way: if there is "quarto*" package installed, then rstudio-desktop will pick it up and use. Otherwise (not installed), quarto support in rstudio will be disabled.
'quarto' is added as optional dependency.
