I used this feature pretty often, but it has one downside: all connections are multiplexed into single one which is not good for performance.
So I've implemented own client which decouples connections from each other: https://github.com/Snawoot/rsp#performance
Basicly, you get working proxy with speed almost as native connection as soon as you have SSH access somewhere.
