I think that using 0.0.0.0 it's a bad idea. That is supposedly opening the port in all network interfaces, including the external ones. So, if you don't have a firewall (especially on the remote server) you are exposing something to the world.

OTOH if I'm going to use some tunnelling/port forwarding quite often, I would use the config file option, but for an one time or sporadic use, the command line option is better IMHO.

Nice catch. You're right. At my company all servers operate inside a complex & heavily-guarded intranet, so I usually use 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost / 127.0.0.1. Sometimes, only using the former worked (e.g: using Code-Server or Jupyter Notebook), and I'm not so good at networking to dive into iptables and firewall things.
