But also less ubiquitous and isn't "ready to go" on as many devices.  I think it would be a mistake to add this at the expense pf the more widely known and popular options, even if it is inherently better. It would be akin to dropping MP3 because AAC is better.

Adding an option do not mean removing the current ones.
Adding an option gives another way to access to storage
It is more choice for all

Both points are valid. 

The issue for me is that since each option in moOde creates a vector for support any new option that is added has to be considered in that context and for reference mounting remote storage is one of the top issues as far as support goes.

Also adding a new mount protocol involves adding it to the File Sharing options and the Mount Monitor which means learning how to detect SSHFS failure modes. All said not a trivial amount of work.
