If SSH had a SNI like feature where a host identifier was passed in plain text during the initial connection. This way the user would just need to register their host identifier and IPv6 address (e.g. via AAAA DNS records), and the service provider wouldn’t need to maintain a list of allowed users. The proxy would have no more access to the contents of the SSH connection than any other intervening stateful firewall.

You can do this with a jump host, see ProxyJump in ssh_config(5).
