I don't know if it fits your use case, but there is also
tramp-remote-process-environment which can be used to set
environment variables on (all) remotes.

I used that for setting GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, etc. where having
it set on all remotes is benign (in my case); if you need to
confine some information to some remote, this may not be ap-
propriate.
