To be fair, SIU hasn't mentioned much--or more like anything--about the scales in the first place. If you ignore the long retracted character cards, the only scales that are ever mentioned in the story or blog posts are those for items (from F to SS with numerical values), and Regulars' climbing grades (seemingly also from F to A, maybe even S or SS--depending on how the grades are distributed among the higher Floors).

As for the Great Families, I agree about Koon Family--on the pale side, blue-ish eyes, blue-ish hair, spears and / or Jeonsulsa. I'm fairly satisfied that AA turned out to be also a spear-wielder, but Jeonsulsa would make more sense as an identifying characteristic. Arie Family are fine as they are, because their swordsmanship isn't merely a skill but something genetic, it's nicely complements their physical characteristics. Ha Family would be better with the characteristics you've already mentioned. Eurasia Family appears to be fine as-is, because the constant sleeping / drowsiness is really difficult to miss. We have yet to knowingly encounter any Po Bidau Family member--aside from Gustang himself--but they should definitely be scrawny know-it-alls. Hendo Lok Family should be really tough with large build, and it would be really nice if they appeared as if hey are "always in a hurry" to reference their limited life-span. Tu Perie Family members should be great strategists, and / or extremely curious information sponges, and / or suffer from acute boredom under most circumstances--it would also make sense if all of them are Light Bearers, either exclusively or among other positions. Lo Po Bia Family should be filled with Anima and highly manipulative individuals. Yeon Family should be graceful, easy to anger (kind of like Yuri), and without exception Hwayeomsa. No idea for Ari Family, though I always liked to imagine that they are kind of like Oniwaban; perhaps due the the fact that we don't know anything about them, and the only member--aside from the Family Head--is all too prone to go by a nickname instead of his real name.

(Note: I also had more ideas about their physical appearance, but I will have to think some more about it, because there would be far too many cross-sections right now. For instance Eurasia and Po Bidau should be rather frail in appearance; Po Bidau because the spend their time researching, and Eurasia because they spend their time napping. Then both Po Bidau and Tu Perie should be likely to wear glasses, because too much reading or too much staring into Lighthouse screen is likely detrimental to one's eyesight. etc.)

I will get back to you about the positions. While I do have some ideas already, this was only as far as I could get before having to dash. =)
