I am guilty of using scp. Glad to see that there is a reimplementation going on.

I’m not sure I get what you mean. In every distro I used so far rsync did use ssh by default so it would honor everything I set in the ssh config.

Not everything however. For it to catch some options , for example SOCKS bridges, you have to use the SSH passthrough notation aka rsync -e 'ssh -F configfile options...' --rsync-options.... And ofc if you have to load a different SSH conffile, you have to use the passthrough for that as well, there’s no rsync native option to load a SSH conffile.
