No, I had not. Interesting idea. Presumably over the existing SSH, rather than using the rsynd-deamon?

Not a bad idea, but I guess I'd need to think about it. Mostly the "large" files I pull from github, or distribution sites. I tend to only upload some simple config-files, and systemd-service units. So the extra overhead of SCP isn't so significant.

Yes, rsync communicates with the rsync at the other end automatically over SSH. You could use rsync by default and then fallback to scp if rsync isn't usable.
