When I scale a canvas which contains lots of text, it doesn't seem to do
anything. For comparison, when I created an oval shape, it got smaller
but the text (i.e., font sizes) remained the same. Does the scale only
apply to shaped objects?

Scale doesn't apply to items whose geometry in intrinsic, like text
and window.
IOW, [llength [.c coords $it]]>2 is the criterion ;-)

I also faced the same problem sometime back. And then to resize text
had to change the font size after some levels of zoom.
Is there a better way re-scale the text on canvas?
