Thanks. So it isn't a native Tramp problem.

IIUC, all three bugs you have reported require interaction with another
package (ido, exec-path-from-shell, crux). I don't use any of them, and
I know only ido which is part of Emacs. I guess you might be better
served if you write either an Emacs bug report (for ido), or if you
contact the package's authors.

You have said that this is a regression from Emacs 26. My crystal ball
suspices that these packages use undocumented Tramp functionality which
has been changed. Who knows.

Best regards, Michael.
