I don't think this is an ideal solution...

OpenSSH should be "overall" secure (that's what it's meant for), and
especially not be a collection of tools/algos/etc. of which some(!) are
safe to user and others not (with the user having to know which).

Not sure what your arguing against as your comments below this pretty much re-enforce what I'm stating. Which is:

Scp should die, and we should add "sftp -U [file/path] host" feature as our recommended replacement.

As no amount of work will fix scp completely.  And every other solution makes it worse and more complex.
