I have a Brother DCP-7065DN. The situation is just as you describe.
I have to install drivers for each function on each client machine.
I would not have bought it if I had known that it required proprietary
binary drivers. But it does work, for printing and scanning.
I haven't tried "scan key tool".
=====
I have found some problems with scanning or printing. I think that they
are on the open-source side (thank goodness). See, for example
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035090>
- duplexing didn't always work as expected
- landscape / portrait things don't always work
- simplescan is great because it is simple but I have had some problems
with it
