You're right – when trying the test case with just ssh in Emacs 28 on
Windows, process-send-eof successfully terminates the remote cat
process, it just never receives the actual Ctrl-D. (Verified this by
stracing the remote cat process.)
The test case where I call start-file-process with default-directory
pointing to a remote directory ("/sshx:...") and run simply "cat"
behaves differently in that it runs cmdproxy.exe instead of ssh.exe
directly, uses the -t option twice to force creation of PTYs on the
remote end, and uses -o RemoteCommand="/bin/sh -i" for interactive
shell. It does not seem to receive any input from Emacs, and stays
running.
Same things also happens if I run the test with "ssh -t -t" so
apparently somehow pseudo terminals on the remote end causes issues
here.
The normal "ssh" method (without -x) does not seem to be able to connect
at all on my Windows system for whatever reason, so I can't comment if
works any better.
Interestingly, similar test on Emacs 27.1 on GNU/Linux
receives the input but the cat process also stays running there, so
not sure if process-send-eof does the right thing even here.

(sshz (start-file-process "eoftest" (get-buffer-create "*eoftest*") "cat")))
