Why don't people use unix domain sockets for local connections? They are pretty much the same thing as local IP connections, except access rights apply as on files, so you're not exposing connections to pretty much all processes.
Domain sockets can be forwarded via ssh with the same -L and -R arguments, including cross unix/ip forwardings.
