Yep, having to wait for development resource to build a scalable system because the legacy is working just fine.... and then the legacy falls over and burns because it exceeded capacity like you warned it would a year before it did, and the business guys suddenly want you to fix it yesterday because now every account manager is out their end of month reports... A significant downside of Scrum as a methodology is that it assumes product owners listen to the engineering team as well as the sales people yelling at them 24/7 for latest feature X before making prioritisation decisions.
