You can turn off transmog and all the level scaling does in the open world is stop things from going gray. You still need to reach the recommended level to go to a zone you can't just go to the Western Plaguelands at level 10 or something.
And I'm not trying to spend 2 months leveling 1-60 on a true classic server, personally. Even so I'm going slow and steady and I'm only level 27 playing casually since launch. I'm playing a Priest and it's got that classic bullshit where if I pull more than one mob at a time I'm dead and it takes me a decent amount of time to kill a single mob and I have to drink a lot.
