Well, I don't want to add an endless number of options, there are many
already.
SA-Exim-Scanned is trivial to remove from system_filter, and my sample
exim4.conf config shows how to keep it for local mail.
The documentation points you to:

And you can already do this inside the exim config. Do I really need to add
that to sa-exim?

Right, see the docs:

PRIVACY WARNING
---------------
By default SA-Exim adds a header with the list of recipients in an Email
(including Bcced folks). 
X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To is used to allow you to  see who a spam went to easily
(i.e. without scanning  the exim logs), and to  write SpamAssassin rules
on  the  envelope  To (like  adding  a  score  if  there were  too  many
recipients or a recipient who you know only receives spam)
If it is not acceptable for your users to see this header, you should
strip it in exim's system_filter with header_remove
