insert-file-contents does not pay attention to the mode at all, it's
really more like `insert'.

But yes, it does obey file-name-handlers, which is probably what you
want for Tramp files, so the only potential trouble it might introduce
is for encrypted or compressed files (tho whether it introduces
problems depends on what you want to do in the case of such files).
