Yes, I frequently keep a TRAMP dired or shell buffer open on remote
hosts. In such a buffer, even completion after C-x C-f defaults to the
remote directory of the dired current buffer or the shell buffers cwd.

You could use one frame per host, and also have the frames colored
differently. But I don't want to evangelize anyone. I was just curious
why many experienced emacs users don't use TRAMP. In my experience, it
enormously matured over the last years from a slow and flaky
implementation of a good idea to a highly usable and convenient tool.
