Ah, in that case it looks like the docs need to be updated because the man pages and the wiki contain documentation that indicates TCP sockets should work: (from man doveadm-quota)

       -S socket_path
              The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket, or a  hostname
              and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.

              This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket.
