When setting up a backend (or a mythjobqueue server), you can allow or 
disallow commercial detection, transcoding, and each user job 
individually per host.  Therefore, you could set up a remote backend 
that runs no jobs (and allows the master backend to run them all) or you 
could allow the remote backend to run some simple user jobs while 
disallowing commercial detection and transcoding.  You specify which 
jobs are allowed in mythtv-setup.
