Sorry I cannot understand what you mean, in particular I'm unsure
about how to interpret:
"the "sws_flags" key should also be explicitly needed"

I'm reappending the vf_scale patch.
...

But I agree on the limitation of the libswscale API, ideally maybe we
should be able to pass in the opaque a pointer to an already allocated
swscale context already containing sws flags + vectors + whatever,
which we could allocate with something like:

sws_allocContext(...);

then fill with AVOption and pass it to the AVFilterGraph(), rather
than pass it just the swscale.

The vf_scale could then read the args string of the vf_scale filter
then could be read and set the values in the context (or a copy of the
context), finally config_props could set the input and output pixel
formats and initialize the context with something like:

sws_initContext(sws_ctx);

Regards.
