It is not about turning *on*, it is about turning *off* (setting
ido-enable-tramp-completion to nil). I, for example, would not expect
remote file names to work, after setting a variable with this name to nil.

admin/MAINTAINERS does not mention anybody who feels responsible for
ido.el. I hope somebody can chime in. I'm not such familiar with ido.

Both bugs require exec-path-from-shell.el MELPA, which I don't use. Have
you contacted the author of that package, for debugging?
Before seeing evidences, I wouldn't say that "there's definitely
something wrong with the `auth-source-search` call in
`tramp-read-passwd`". It is used by many users as it is.
Best regards, Michael.
