Yeah, in my shop a band saw would be used for resawing as much as anything. RIght now I resaw with my table saw, which…isn’t great. I don’t do much intricate scrollwork, or if I do, out comes the jigsaw. It’s what I rough cut the bottom arched piece of this with.
I use my bandsaw the most in my shop (maybe second to the sander now that I think of it.) I’ve had a scroll saw I got from my dad’s shop that may have come from my grandpa’s. Weighs a ton. I’ve had it ten years and never used it.
Much harder to remove fingers with a scroll saw. Also way tighter curves and blind holes can be done. Plus you can get old ones for almost free off marketplace.
Scroll saw would be more effective for this, but the bandsaw would be more versatile.

I don’t know if I can say if I use my table saw or my router table more. If I do have to make curved cuts or something I haul out one of my jigsaws.

Can confirm, got my scroll saw at a yard sale for $20
