I'm using VS2022 (Version 17.4.4) for daily work and it works well for me for Inventor 2020 and above. Perhaps you need to install some .NET for older versions, but current versions of Inventor use .NET Framework 4.8 and it is installed by default.

I would recommend VS2022.  I'm using it with Inventor 2019.  The IntelliCode is a really nice feature.  It does a great job of anticipating code changes you're trying to make in multiple locations.  If your VS2019 is prior to 16.11, the hot reload feature in >=16.11 is a huge time saver.  In a lot of cases it keeps you from having to restart Inventor after code changes.
