Pushed to master. The Tramp manual explains now

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     Emacs computes the ‘dired’ options based on the local host.  Since
     Emacs 30, these options can be set connection-local.  *Note
     (emacs)Connection Variables::.

          (connection-local-set-profile-variables
            'my-dired-profile
            '((dired-listing-switches . "-ahl")))

          (connection-local-set-profiles
           '(:application tramp :machine "remotehost")
           'my-dired-profile)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards, Michael.
