You're right, I didn't think to ask about NAT traversal.  Probably 
because my existing solution -- Chrome Remote Assist/Desktop -- already 
solves the problem.  But it does fall short in requiring the PIN invitation.

So I'm asking now as a follow-up: Does X2Go know how to do that?

[My initial self-reply is that, sadly, it probably does not.  It works 
over SSH, so presumably you'd have to set it up with a forwarded port.]
