I only savescum in adventure mode, and I don't do it very often at that.

[Kanil]

I save scum for testing, bugs, and things that are excessively annoying.

The latter category being like getting sieges while cleaning up after previous sieges. Having my dwarves all die because my map needs to look less messy isn't really "losing is fun" but more "losing is fucking annoying".

The tantrum spiral that kills almost everyone is certainly acceptable to play through, but the annoying bullshit isn't.

I don't Savescum but that is because I don't really have the time, nor do I feel that I particularly need to.

Once I realised that this basically boiled down to "I savescum when my OCD kills the dwarves but I don't when theirs kills them" I cracked up.

Not criticizing your playstyle, just found that very funny

I play specifically for that dreadful event to spiral into chaos and either end me or drive me to abandon and start over.  I also don't make huge constructions or do much that won't be entirely different in the next embark (due to, e.g., total biome shifts, vertical vs. horizontal setups, workshop and stockpile organization, yadda).

It's like, the endgame.  Level 60 70 80 85.  I'm aiming for success, of course, but also indirectly at losing that success.

I suppose if I was committed to always doing things a certain way, or creating not-easily-rebuilt structures, I'd scum it.  The personal benefits of playing "dangerously" kind of outweigh the value of a few dozen rooms and tunnels to me, though.
