The backhoe connection is NOT a rear remote for the most part since there is no valve control for the flow. It might be possible to use it for something like a hydraulic motor or a log splitter that can use continuous flow and has a valve if needed.I have hydraulics for my backhoe but I don’t know if that counts as a rear remote. Here is what the back of the tractor looks like:

The two connections points with whitish plastic plugs are your rear remote. There should be some control lever inside the cab (beside the seat probably). There may be additional slots for additional levers and valves to be stacked together but that would require Kubota supplied valves to fit properly.
This thread by @McMXi shows how he implemented multiple outlets since he needed more than what could be added to control multiple cylinders on the implements in addition to the top and tilt.

I went down a rabbit hole a few months ago after buying a used Buhler/Farm King hydraulic rear blade. The blade came with three hydraulic cylinders with one for boom offset, one for blade angle and one for blade tilt. The owner's manual shows an optional gauge wheel set up with two wheels and...
I personally think you would be better off adding additional control valves (one for top link and one for tilt at a minimum) assuming you intend to get both cylinders in the future. That way you have easier control of both cylinders as you need it.
But putting an electric multiplier could be done also, you just have to keep track of which outlet is connected to what cylinder and switch to the correct one before trying to adjust it.
Hopefully I am not Captain Obvious on this and telling you things you already understand.
