This here fulfills all of my needs:

#!/bin/bash
printf -v ARGS "%q " "$@"
exec ssh notmuch notmuch ${ARGS}

Keep it simple, I say. The user can (and must) configure all the ssh
stuff in ~/.ssh/config under "Host notmuch". If there is something
non-trivial the user must do, taking a trivial script and editing it
is usually *much* easier than trying to understand a complicated
script and making that work using environment variables etc. that need
to be set somewhere.
