I think the approach is great, thanks for picking this up. A few minor comments:
- I'd change start-file-process in lockstep with make-process. Since
start-process is nowadays just a wrapper around make-process, it would
be somewhat confusing if start-file-process behaved significantly
differently.
- I'd probably leave out the ControlMaster options entirely and rely
on a working SSH config with a control master already started. That
way the control master can be reused across arbitrary processes on the
client machine, not just Emacs.
