You can use the weapon, but the user has to be average with it at best to keep continuity. No he doesn't. He can be highly skilled with a scythe. Qrow simply needs to remain more skilled.

Besides, people who make the same argument as you always happily forget that Ozpin is not omniscient, he doesn't know absolutely everything. Otherwise, Volume 3 would've never happened.

So a few Scythe users in Remnant that Ozpin doesn't know exist, is fine. At least outside of Vale. And their skill compared to Qrow at specifically Scythe-wielding can be more, roughly equal, or lesser than Qrow's is perfectly fine depending on the user's training level. (I mean, a 2nd Year being as skilled as Qrow would be bullshit, scythe or not).

And that's if we assume it's Scythe-wielding and not specifically GUNScythe-wielding. The addition of a gun function changes things far more than it looks, including the very manner of usage.
