But it would be nice to see super white and sub black excursions before correcting them. So, we live with, what to me, look like wrong values?
IME, clipped levels are evident looking at the scopes. But what you see on the external display is precisely what the final signal looks like. You're not looking at wrong values. Again - Resolve's scopes show you the signal as its processing internally, not what those values need to be remapped to when writing out to file or sending to the display. Black is black. White is white. Life is good.
You could send in a feature request to the Resolve team for their built-in scopes to show some amount of over/under excursions. If it was an option I'd still run with the full sized scopes... since that's where I'm balancing and the portion of the signal I'm actively working.
SpeedGrade does something similar to what you're asking, where the scopes auto-scale as excursions occur. The problem is that the scopes are constantly changing their values as the user expands / contracts the values. I get sea-sick watching it. The solution there is to stick the Broadcast Safe filter on a top level adjustment layer - which clips the signal and keeps the scopes from scaling but defeating what you're asking.
Personally, grading in Symphony without external scopes would drive me nuts... the images are just too small for these late-40s eyes.
