I'd be a big fan if that worked, but I haven't found an open remote desktop solution on Linux that works out of the box and acceptably fast¹, to the point that I have to use proprietary software to perform remote desktop sessions - there is a huge gap between the open solutions and the proprietary ones². ¹=they're all either incredibly slow, or clunky to configure/use. interestingly, X2Go, which I think was working out of the box, but was too slow, is based on an old version of the Nomachine (NX) protocol. ²=the recent RustDesk tries to fill that gap.

waypipe[1] is the wayland equivalent people are looking for. It gives you the UX and ease of use of X11 forwarding, but with the performance and efficiency of things like RDP (which is gross, but can run quite well on Windows Server if you throw enough money at Microsoft). Wayland applications will render entirely on the host using host resources and acceleration as needed, buffer content gets transmitted using (hardware accelerated) h264 encoding, while messages in general get passed as-is to give a fully local experience. And it of course works over SSH. 1: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl/waypipe https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl/waypipe
