I can think of two who express emotion marvelously, but who you conspicuously left out! I guess because they don't scat a lot, at least not in the traditional sense. I won't mention this to them though, even if I get the chance.I agree with you on Tierney Sutton, also on Rene Marie. The new Dena de Rose is sensational. You don't appreciate Karrin Allyson as much as I do, but I love her voice and her style. I've always liked Dee Dee Bridgewater, the way that she approximates Ella's style especially.
I think we have to differentiate style a little. There are ballad singers who do not scat or improvise much, but who are marvelous vocalists who sing in an improvisational context - that is they let the musicians carry the improvisational duties. Someone like Shirley Horn (I really only have patience for her up-tempo numbers. Her up-tempo is a nice slow ballad). Jacintha also comes to mind. I don't think you favor her, but I can listen to her voice for hours - smooth as silk, and perfectly complimented by her arrangements.
