With your "Qrow is the Scarecrow" theory, you are ignoring one very peritnent fact - the Wizard of Oz characters have all so far been leaders (or vice leaders) of the schools. Tin Man is the Headmaster of Atlas, The Cowardly Lion is the Headmaster of Haven. The Wizard of Oz and Glynda the Good Witch are the Headmaster and second in command at Beacon.

So, following the pattern, it stands to reason the the Headmaster of Shade is going to be the Scarecrow, not Qrow himself.

Also, they don't tie every single little thing from one character into their RWBY allusion. They have said it before; they're making their own characters and their own stories, not porting other characters into their world. So Ironwood doesn't actually need an axe hidden away somewhere, since while he does allude to the Tin Man, he's not a direct port of the Tin Man into the world of Remnant.

Qrow (and by extension Raven) far better fit the theory of Hugin and Munin, because the only real tie Qrow has to the 'Scarecrow' allusion is a similar name and working with Oz. Which again, they have a theme running - Headmasters and people in high positions at the 4 Academies, of which Shade's has not been revealed yet and has a far better chance of being the Scarecrow to tie in the rest of the theme.
