With a smarter shell than bash, there is a solution that works for all
these cases, and even a few others: ~/.zshenv will be called for all zsh
instances (and therefore needs to be very minimalistic, and preferably
set up to avoid overwriting explicit changes).

So it will take effect for login shell on a VC, remote login shell,
remote non-login shell (to set $PATH so that rsync finds
~/local/bin/rsync), programs launched by the WM if it uses $SHELL, even
GUI sessions if ~/.xsessionrc is #!/bin/zsh.

Mine starts with:

[[ "$ZSHENV_USER" == $UID-1 ]] && return
export ZSHENV_USER=$UID-1

And then it sets the environment up. Bonus point: if I change the 1 into
2, it even takes effect on all new shells, no need to re-log.
