Only if a pseudo-tty is allocated (-t option). But in this case, I get
a "Connection to ... closed." message at the end of the connection (and
possibly other side effects). I could use the -q option too, though.
But this is quite annoying if I want to have them by default. There
doesn't seem to be an option for TERM to put in the .ssh/config (and
the link between LogLevel and the -q option isn't very clear).
