Allow reference scale to be set for individual sets of features

It would be nice to be able to set a reference scale for individual classes of features, similar to the way you can set label classes. An example would be showing major roads at all scales, while only showing lowere road classes at larger scales. This would eliminate much of the need to add layers multiple times and set up definition queries and reference scales separately.
I know it can be done through .Net coding, but it would be useful for those of us who don't do .Net programming.

This functionality would be useful for ArcGIS Server mapservices where you could use a layer once with different renderers instead of having to add the layer multiple times for different scales.

This would be very useful.
Same idea: Reference Scale for single layers.

Much if not all of this idea should be possible in ArcGIS Pro with Use display filters—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation, Scale-based symbol classes—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation, and Scale-based symbol sizing—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Kory, This is awesome info but, we are talking about 2 different things. Display filters and reference scale display.

We have some layers where we want to keep sized to certain display scale and not increase in size as we zoom in and out. The idea is to allow users to set reference scale for each layer independently vs only having ability to do it from the map propoerties:
