What I had in mind is to write some sort of user(v)fs to access files on another machine by ssh/scp, but using a ls/cp and shell redirection interface. It would obviously be cheaper in cpu and time to use something like fsh.

The short answer is: No.
The longer and less reliable answer is that I've heard rumours about an extension to ange-ftp in Emacs that can run over ssh, if I remember correctly, but I have not seen it myself. It might have been somebody else that was describing an idea, rather than an actual implementation.
Hmm. A quick www.google.com search reveals this page:
