From what I can tell with-editor doesn't use this mechanism,

IIRC we've discussed this with Jonas years ago, when emacsclient
was improved for supporting Tramp. He didn't want to change the
existing with-editor mechanism due to backward compatibility
(still IIRC).
Perhaps you contact Jonas and ask about? For example, it could
support the old mechanism via standard output/input, and the new
mechanism alternatively.
I will do that, but notwithstanding what you said about you
yourself not using emacsclient much, I think there is one aspect
that is the "responsibility" of Tramp, and that is to set the
EMACSCLIENT_TRAMP environment variable on initialisation of a
remote shell. It needs to be set to the same remote identifier
used to open the shell, particularly for an ad-hoc multi-hop
sudo. (I can explain why I believe this to be the case, if
needed.)
What's the easiest way of making that code change? I'm fairly sure
I'm right about it.
Thanks and regards,
