Are there any plans to allow loading KML files that are not publicly accessible?
Sharing the KML file as a service to Server and Portal isn't a viable route I could use.
Until they can push it off to the client, I would say no. It needs to be publicly accessible since the class actually makes a call to an Esri utility (you probably already know this):

Loading Dynamic KML from web service
I was thinking along the same lines as the OP in hosting the utility locally, or maybe creating the functionality locally. Esri said this wasn't possible, but technically, I think it should be...
Your other option, of course, is to parse the KML file and create a featureLayer on the fly. KML files are just XML anyways so, for simple KMLs of points (and possibly lines), this wouldn't be that difficult (albeit tedious).
Maybe this would be a solution?

Found it thanks to Jeff Jacobson in this thread - Is there any way to add KML,KMZ and CSV file from local drive/folder in web app?
Oh, just as a plug for the Terrformer JSON parsing Jeff mentioned, I have a Runnable demo in case anyone is interested - http://code.runnable.com/Vfig_eplbl55NWA1/terraformer-demo-for-node-js
Thanks.
