Squid has inbuilt ACL controls also, so even if it doesn't support the TCP
wrappers you can still achieve the same thing (restricting allowed
connections to be a particular host or netblock or whatever) from inside
squid itself.
I'm curious as to the choice of ssh tunnel rather than SSL and proxy
authentication...
