It shouldn't be necessary to do that. Sometimes modifying the target system isn't all that straightforward, and control sequences should be straightforward to strip. There's already an attempt to strip ANSI color, yes? It's not like Tramp is trying to avail itself of the opportunities SSH provides to make noninteractive use feasible. Failure mode is just "when I try to use Emacs to connect to this family of hosts, it hangs. VSCode works. I guess I'll stick with that"
