Taking a quick look at recent ghcide commits, I see:

	https://github.com/digital-asset/ghcide/commit/e78e1638ea00af7c5bf4fdbae245413eafed4248

which shows changes to a stack.yaml file using "resolver: nightly-2019-12-06".
The removed extra-deps are:

  - haskell-lsp-0.18.0.0
  - lsp-test-0.8.2.0
  - hslogger-1.3.0.0
  - network-bsd-2.8.1.0

and the presumably expectation is that these will show up in a stack release soon.
But in the mean time you've selected:

  - haskell-lsp-0.17.0.0
  - haskell-lsp-types-0.17.0.0
  - hie-bios-0.2.1
  - rope-utf16-splay-0.3.1.0

which are older, and may not work with GHC 8.8.1 (MFP changes) used by recent
stack nightly builds.  You could try changing the stack.yaml file to use an
even more recent nightly, but ultimately, may need to figure out the right
versions of the extra dependencies.
