Approving to unblock you, @eedugon!
I've left a few minor suggestions, but am afraid don't know enough about this subject to contribute more meaningfully. Many thanks!

This is a preliminary / quick solution to address the issues and noise caused by the lack of details of the doc to configure remote clusters from a self-managed cluster towards ECK.
This PR improves:
xpack.security.remote_cluster_client.ssl.certificate_authoritiesis NOT needed when remote is ECH.9443.sniffmode if the remote is on ECH, ECE or ECK, as that will never be an option.In a next iteration we will refine the content to cover other remote possibilities, such as ECE or ECK, completely, as we have in other docs.
For example for self-manged --> ECE we will require the user to add the ECE proxy CA into the self-managed list of trusted certs, but that's not covered yet.
