That doesn't sound too useful to me (does "ctags" there allude to our
etags?), e.g. it doesn't say which languages are supported. And I'm
not really sure I understand how that comparison will help you in
your quest.

Doesn't visit-tags-table support remote file names? If it does, you
just visit TAGS that lives on the remote machine, and then the
"normal" etags commands will just work.
