There are many ways to look at this, Spirit, and pretty much all say the tail is venomous. For example:

1-Doyllistically, why give Tyrian a scorpion tail if it isn't venomous in the slightest? If they wanted to give him a tail just for the sake of it, there are many other options they could've used: A Snake tail, for example.

2-Consider the last thing he tried to do in ep6 was stab Ruby with the stinger. Now, why would he do that? If all he wanted to do was hurt her, a punch or kick would've sufficed. If all he wanted to do was KO her to take her away, there was no need to stab her.

Ah, but if the tail has venom, then it makes perfect sense: Inject some to paralyze/put her to sleep/weaken her to take her away.

Scorpion tails are universally venomous. And if his tail had no venom, it makes less sense in and out of universe. Overall, Spirit, the answer is obvious: The chances of it not being venomous are so stupidly low, we should indeed assume it's venomous until stated to not be.

It's the same as with any other faunus trait. We assume they work as much as they do in the actual animal, like Blake's ears being 100% functional (instead of just being glorified appendages), including not just movement, but also hearing capability. Oh, but "venomous tail could maybe-probably not be venomous"? Come on.
