Hm.  I'm not sure what to do, I tried to choose values which allow
plenty of time.  Maybe I should just double the number that's
troubling you?

My main problem with the new variables is the name and the
documentation.  Which categories of waiting should we provide, what
should the variables be named, and what should be the default values?

Can you do this work for me?  Just go through all occurrences of
"(tramp-wait-for-", look if there is a timeout, and if so, see what
the purpose of the timeout is.

I think there could be a tramp-timeout-shell-startup variable, and
tramp-timeout-passwd-prompt.  But which others?

If you submit a patch for this, I will approve it. Otherwise it waits
'til I have the time to do it.
