Yeah, save scumming is a personal choice. Don't think Larian should make difficulty changes soley to counter save scumming. Even though I scum a bit, I'd be down for an iron man mode, even more so if there's a way for you to reload your last save after a wipe. Just enough autosaving your one save to prevent scumming the dialogue.
Now I could see them making changes to encouters if they see a lot of wipes and scums in the same area. I'll reload if I know I'm going to lose, so sometimes a scum might be an indicator of a wipe and maybe this area was harder than the devs intended.
Another thing could be dealing with Arabella. Maybe they'll rethink a DC20 check on that or add in more options, medicine check to save her, animal handling the snake, etc. I know I did a lot of scumming there.
