SSHD has a proven track record. A program (open source or not) that replaces a proven bastion of security while offering "some interesting features" is exactly the sort of thing a security team will balk at.

Software that's a "known quantity" that a lot of people can support is a big thing when it comes to security. I've not heard of Teleport until this post.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Teleport is wonderful at what it does, probably more secure than SSHD etc. But it hasn't earned that trust amongst a wide base yet so people will be hesitate to use it. Hell even mosh can be hard to get as a trusted thing.

Could not agree more! Trust is easy to lose but it takes years to earn.
