Looks like I should check the source before writing bullshit.
tramp-do-copy-or-rename-file always uses tramp-do-copy-or-rename-via-buffer
(except it can perform the operation on the remote host directly). The
out of band copy commands are used for tramp-handle-file-local-copy
and alike.

Maybe there's a lack in implementation, Kai?
