I hadn't even considered the idea of mounting local directories with different users; so far I've only really used it to open remote files on my office PC in GUI editors on the laptop I use when working from home.
Oh, I only use it for different users when I'm working on my servers. For security reasons, every server has a name, and a user name that is mnemonically linked to the server name. Root login is then disabled on the server, and that main server admin account is a sudoer. Thus I would often sshfs using that admin account less commonly as root for the whole filesystem (root login only permitted from the LAN with a sshkey not a password). To keep risks low with both my use and any possible mal-vectors I use the lower level of accounts when that's all I need and I make sure its in the right groups to read logs and such.
