Hi Father Steve,
With your phrase to use them in very narrowly defined situations in fact you nearly answer your question yourself: scant(y) covers such a small stretch between "too little" and "enough" (not including those boundaries), that opportunity for it's use rarely arises. Large expanses prevail on either side of it's domain.
