It doesn't make sense to use a completely different protocol in _every
way_ for the local case than the remote case, does it?

I disagree: it's exactly the same as the local case in every respect,
except you put the words "ssh host" before the qemu/kvm command you
would have run locally.
This holds even for a hypothetical GUI app running locally which wraps
a VNC widget and has some QEMU control buttons. It just needs to know
the qemu/kvm command it runs starts with "ssh host ...".
If there was a GUI app which runs well locally - why would you want to
use something completely different to control a VM which happens to
run on another machine? That would be a really annoying and
artificial distinction. The same GUI controls are useful in either case.

It's worth a try.
Personally I run a few local kvms and a few remote kvms and I can
hardly tell the difference. Either way I run a kvm command, then a
VNC client. (I stopped using SDL after accidentally killing VMs by
clicking on the close button too many times.)
