Better that... than having an inherently insecure scp... or at least
make it absolutely clear and rename it to i[nsecure]scp.
If the core functionality of a program (which is here probably the
"secure") is no longer given, then it's IMO better to rather cause
breakage (at least for old clients), than to keep going.

Deprecation of scp protocol and improving sftp client
I hear you - but it seems that the choice is between (a) limiting "scp" functionality to address the security vulnerability, and (b) killing "scp" altogether.
I'd much prefer (a), even if it means I lose "scp remotehost:foo\* .".
Especially, since (almost always) I have equal privileges on both local and remote hosts, so in that case I just originate that
