ssh -X works on Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, SuSE.
The only distro that I know that has no xcsecurity is alpine.

All my applications work without problems. We are using it since more

Well, I don't want to do trusted forwarding, because you have to trust
the machine you forward to 100%.
ssh -X is definitely nothing special, instable or esoteric. But I
don't understand the security implications completely, so I can accept
a well-founded no.
