Interaction scaling has the downside of impacting all adjusted interactions, and not only the ones responsible for the model's misbehavior. When defining scaled interactions, one also typically does not repeat the extensive testing that went into the force field's parameterization -the point being precisely to avoid such an in-depth redo. Because of these aspects, solutions involving interaction scaling have questionable transferability properties, and are better seen as temporary stopgap measures for the specific systems they were developed for.
