This ssh client is basically working for me,  thanks very much, except that the only way I've found
for working though intermediate hosts involves installing a private key on those hosts.
That feels like a weakening of my security.

Have I missed the way to enable ForwardAgent  (or -A on the command line) in the current version?

Is there any prospect of supporting: ProxyCommand and/or ProxyJump?

ForwardAgent works just fine.  are you actually asking about forwarding a local native ssh-agent ?  that requires more work because Chrome enforces a bridge layer running on your system to proxy messages.

ProxyCommand/ProxyJump are unlikely to happen anytime soon as OpenSSH internally forks.  we'd have to patch/rewrite it to use threads instead.
