I don't know why you get /scp and /scpx as completion. You shouldn't as
long as Tramp is not loaded.

Compare the two scenarii:

- emacs -Q
- M-x ido-find-file
- / s TAB

You don't see any Tramp method:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Possible completions are:
sbin/   snap/
srv/    sys/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

- emacs -Q -l tramp
- M-x ido-find-file
- / s TAB

You see also respective Tramp methods:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Possible completions are:
sbin/   scp:    scpx:   sftp:   sg:     smb:    snap/
srv/    ssh:    sshx:   su:     sudo:   sudoedit:       sys/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards, Michael.
