No. I prefer a lot to use rsync, because scp:

 - has no dry-run mode
 - is not incremental
 - follows symlinks when used with the -r option
 - has too few options: no --chown --chgrp

No: users should be free to continue using it (but not with the -r option IMO).

With scp no, but I use sshfs for years. This is IMO something to promote.

Ex: Example: a simple 3-way copy, assuming you have root SSH access (with keys)

    mkdir /mnt/hostA
    sshfs -o transform_symlinks root@hostA:/ /mnt/hostA
    rsync -a --delete /mnt/hostA/etc/skel/ root@hostB:/etc/skel
