To be honest, I'm quite happy with how currently Scouting units perform. The only flaw is that there are early problems with scouting when you play on Archipaelago map or even Tectonics with multiple islands. Sometimes it's not a big pressure to rush Emabarking for your units because your economy requires something different. Yet, you are often stuck with your Pathifinder (or Scout) near coast and cannot cross it. If there was an early Amphibious then I would vote yes for that. But this is the only need I have. It could be accessible either from start or the first rank promotions.
In my current game, enemy scout was blocked by my city (natural expansion) on a small peninsula and stayed there for ages.
All three proposals, like @azum4roll admited, are not good. It's change for the sake of change. No for all.
