The -d option is used to set the delimiter between fields. If your xargs does not have this option, you can omit it; it will work fine except for filenames with spaces
That's understating the matter. It will not work properly for filenames with spaces, tabs, newlines, single quotes, and double quotes.
You can improve the robustness of the pipeline by passing the output of ssh through
and using xargs' -0 option. This will render it impervious to any characters except embedded newlines in filenames (which I assume is very unlikely to occur unless someone has been drinking and admining). If you retool to use `find -print0`, then there'd be no need for the tr filtering and even embedded newlines would be handled properly.
Also, the rm command in the original post needs some quoting to prevent field splitting damage.

ssh-argv0
SSH-ARGV0(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ARGV0(1)NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]
hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is
equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.
OPTIONS
See ssh(1).
FILES
See ssh(1).
