I was always told that scruffing them is fine but you need to grab more than the person in the grip, obviously don't carry them around the house like that but if you need to manipulate them then grabbing a handful is usually okay. It's fine when you're spreading out the weight but that weird two finger grip on the back of the neck is just mean.
Yeah definitely, scruffing itself is fine! But like you said, you gotta get more skin in it, and you need to support the rest of their body. It's a good way to get them to stop wiggling for whatever you need to do, but it's not a way to carry them.
