Yeah 100% scale isn't really usable on 27" 1440p 165hz monitor. So I decided to actually spend the effort testing with Nvidia scaling/sharpening instead of complaining on a forum, I'll just post it here in case it helps anyone:
Fullscreen as personal choice though of course windowed won't stretch the smaller resolutions: Testing 3 options of 2560x1440p with 135% scaling; 1080p resolution on 1440p monitor; 2176x1224p Nvidia 85% image downscale option from 1440p with sharpen. The 1224p downscale did look better than the 1080p when I turned on the sharpen option at 30%, as it should. 1080p I couldn't tell the difference with sharpen 30% on/off, didn't test with higher sharpen. However both 1080p and 1224p did have great pixelation on my monitor especially on busy ships/sprites such as large missile racks and distinguishing each missile tube etc. This is all pretty obvious
Native 1440p 135% ui scale with just 30% sharpen surprisingly kind of fixed my issue, I ended up increasing to 50% sharpening. Doesn't look quite as good as 16x AA or 100% and it does have 'jaggies'. This also sharpens text and 'everything' on the game, however it looks quite nice and makes text/planets/ships and drones pop out in space a bit more. Mileage may vary depending on your monitor and its settings
