I came to that conclusion in our environment, for many other reasons. I inherited the setup which had a master on osx, with slaves connected via ssh (linux & osx) as well as jnlp (windows) which is why I didn't feel that I could offer up any help. The only thing I wasn't clear on with your set up is whether or not the user you specify jenkins to ssh to the slave as can log into the slave without entering a password.
