A key issue is that mtb:scale can't be the only indication. Otherwise, we're falling into a trap - which has been a common trap in the past. It's a trolltag https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Trolltag - a second tag that negates or massively changes the meaning of another tag. "This isn't what you were expecting of a highway=cycleway: it's a wilderness trail for highly skilled and adventurous MTB riders!"
mtb:scale is complementing, not negating. Along with other additional tags, It filters 'cycleways' to indicate a specific kind of cycleway
Just as bad, though, is the fact that tagging with an mtb:scale requires technical knowledge of that specific sport. How do I tag, "this trail is posted for MTB use, and would be impassable to a road bike?"
You don't. You should only tag *anything* in OSM if you have knowledge of it.
