I also don't know of any NC over TLS deployments.   Juniper doesn't even
support it.   

The SSH transport is very intuitive with regards to mapping the user.  The
TLS transport requires special configuration to map the client cert, which
relegates it to special use-cases (e.g. constrained devices)
