Do you plan to also replace the scaling code with your new transform code? 
Because the scaling code does some cashing and some special case handling and 
that is why it actually works so well.

Right now the scaling code is not really color space independent, but it works 
well with RGB8/16, CMYK8/16 and even LAB. However, it produces artifacts with 
floating point colorspaces.

What should we do? Should I try to rework the scaling code or should we 
replace it?

On the one hand I think it is bad to have two junks of code that do more or 
less the same thing. On the other hand the scaling routine is really good and 
fast and I would not like to see it replaced with something that does not 
work as well and is not as fast (if this is the case).
