Quoting: iwantlinuxgamesi used to use X over ssh years ago...not sure how well it works in the age of wayland.

it would spawn a graphical interface from the remote node to your display, allowing you to use GUI apps from the remote machine and changes taking place on the remote machine...no need for a full desktop
The downside to X over the network is that you need to leave it running on the machine you're connecting from.

As soon as you close the connection the application lose contact with the X server and dies.
