"However, updating the dependency to a modern libssh requires changing not only the RPM spec file but also the x2goclient source code." That is something x2go devs will be forced to do sooner or later, if distros don't distribute anymore that libssh version.
"Forced" might be too strong a word. Plenty of distributions apply their own patches to fix bugs and dependency issues that various software package developers leave unfixed for years, or even decades.
I'd like to hope that the X2Go developers would not be so negligent as to let their Debian and openSUSE packages languish in an essentially unusable state. (In fact, the problem must also affect those building from source on modern systems.) But being a volunteer developer of other projects, I know that time is often in short supply.
I've included a patch with my bug report so hopefully this has taken most of the work out of solving the problem.
