Yes it would ! 
They might plan to do some of this via the intro quests.
I love this idea, complete with scholars outfit transmog, pen set, record book, mini brush, trowel set, magnifying glass, safety lamp etc… (for an archaeologist /scholar)
Or for librarian scholar:
-
Runic date stamps
-
Self rolling parchment
-
Tome bindings
-
Goblin made endless ink well, (which sometimes explodes)
-
(Ink stained hands for unfortunate librarians)
-
Grimoire containment fields
-
Gnomish wobbly extendable ladders
-
An erratic book trolly.
(I personally prefer more scholar to Indiana Jones destructive tomb robber/treasure hunter style). 
Breathe new life into the Ironforge Hall of Explorers.
If there isn’t time to develop the profession fully, maybe throw in ten optional side quests, which will later be carried on in a future patch, leading to the next expansion after Dragonflight.
(Effort is then not wasted and alts have something to catch up on during slow times).
I also had some thoughts and ideas on libraries in an older post.
