Tried it lately?  Most modern distributions 'discourage' the practice.
The local X server won't be bound to a TCP port out of the box and if
iptables is running it will block any outside connection anyway.  And
fixing it gets harder and harder every year.  And Wayland will put a
final end to remote X unless you install an X11 emulation layer exactly
like Windows folk must.
