Update 2020: I found a very easy solution. It may be due to the updated PyCharm version (2020.1).

1. Ensure that X11Forwarding is enabled on server: In /etc/ssh/sshd_config set

X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost no

2. On client (MacOS for me): In ~/.ssh/config set

ForwardX11 yes

3. In PyCharm deselect Include system environment variables. This resolves the issue that the DISPLAY variable gets set to the system variable.
