I hope you don't mind me replying here to ask a question about this.

Is there a way to turn this on for all SSH connections which don't use
multi-hops?  I.e. all SSH connections originating from localhost with no
further hops?  I imagine this is something a lot of users would want to
turn on.

I assume it would be unwise to use

(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
                  '("\\`/ssh:.+:/"
                  "direct-async-process" t))

or similar, because there can be implicit multi-hops thanks to tramp
tramp-default-proxies-alist and tramp remembering used proxies.
