Could you expand on this?

Do you mean when completing things like "/ssh:toto" ?
In that case I agree that Tramp shouldn't open a connection, but I think
this should be regardless of non-essential.

But do you also mean that completing "/ssh:host:tmp/ema" will open a new
connection regardless of non-essential?  If so, as mentioned I think
that would be a mistake.

Sounds like we agree, then: this should not be affected by non-essential.
