Done. Finally, you're right. It is worth an own command. What I do miss
is its documentation in tramp.texi, node "Cleanup remote connections".

Some further remarks:

'tramp-cleanup-bufferless-connections'

... for which no associated buffers except Tramp internal ones exist ...

I've proposed this. But thinking about, there is already the exact same
function 'buffer-file-name'. We shall use it instead.

Not needed here. This is defined in tramp.el.

... "is a remote file name."

Simplify as

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(when (tramp-tramp-file-p
        (or (buffer-file-name buffer)
        (tramp-get-buffer-default-directory buffer)))
   buffer)

... "is a remote file name."

Best regards, Michael.
