I think this should just be a utility like Luigi suggested. This will help "solve" these problems.
And in large part the traditional netpipe/socket tools in combination with the -L and -R flags of SSH solve these issues rather handily. And when used with ssh-keyagent rather nicely.
But piping GBs of data through an encrypted SSH connection is still slow. The performance issues the OP is trying to address are real.
Another approach would be to add a new option to SSH so that it could encrypt only the initial authentication, then pass data unencrypted after that. This would go a long way to addressing the performance concerns.
