You don’t see the difference between: 1) allowing anyone on the Internet to use an ssh shell on an internal server that’s protected by authentication and firewalls, vs 2) someone you know, who has already been granted physical access to your location, and likely already has a security clearance as well as undergone interviews, training, and other security checks?

Seems like a false dichotomy to me. In both cases you illustrated, I would actually be pairing with someone I know.
