Ok so under ssh_connection this parameter is only for the SSH transport. Paramiko doesn't have this. So what you have for controlling wouldn't be handled by (1)
(2) is unlikely to be implemented. So the question is really can paramiko scp all of the time -- I don't particularly recall but I believe in some cases SCP can be disabled? If I'm wrong, this is reasonable. If I am not, we can make a new configuration option for paramiko. But paramiko shouldn't obey the config section for the SSH transport.
