After spending at least the past half year using only the Purifier against bots, I finally recently started bringing the Scythe, and honestly it really is true that you don't need AP3 to win. Yeah, it's nice to be able to just dump shitloads of damage on them instead of aiming for weak points, but Devastators are usually so slow that it's not that hard to pop their heads, even with a controller. Rocket Striders are also super vulnerable to just blowing up their rockets, it's not as guaranteed as head clicking since they tend to jerk and sway around as they run at you but it's still a viable solution. Berserkers can be cored with stomach shots, Troopers can just be tapped to death, so that just leaves Gunships and heavies as things you need your support weapon to deal with (and admittedly not being able to just explode Gunships to death with two or three shots is a bit painful).

It still kind of sucks if the Devastators and Rocket Striders start piling up into unmanageable numbers though. Purifier is just so good at heavy damage and crowd control that it's almost as strong as a support weapon. There's almost no reason to not use it except purely for the challenge.
