I don't want to argue on semantics. Currently you can't start a graphical session completely remotely using any protocol (RDP, VNC, no machine, whatever).
> GNOME Remote Desktop supports integrating with the GNOME Display Manager (GDM)
to achieve remote login functionality. This feature is only available via the
RDP protocol. It works by the remote user first authenticating via a system
wide password, which gives access to the graphical login screen, where they can
login using their user specific credentials.
And then it seems to describe a pure-cli config process that you could set up once over SSH and then be able to RDP to the box thereafter.

Actually for that matter, the next section - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop#headless... - appears to describe doing a single-user version of the same, explicitly running headless.
