The only scaling setting in tweak tool is the one in the Fonts section, which appears to be exposing org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor. It scales the *text*. It scales all text relative to its original size. So if I set it to 2.0 the text that's half size will be the correct size, but the text that already *was* the correct size will be twice that size, and mostly too big for the windows it's in, as only the text has been scaled, not most of the other user interface components.

As described in the original post under the paragraph starting "gsettings org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor"

I've never seen the point of that setting. It's always done that, but only setting the text scale without the rest of the user interface is useless.
