For the interpolation between middle game and endgame, I don't scale black and white independently. Only the total non-pawn material on the board matters. In practise I don't think it is very important to scale black and white independently when you use a continuous scale between the middle game and the endgame. Most often, black and white will have exactly the same material, and when one side does have a substantial advantage in piece material, the position will be clearly won in 99% of the cases. For scaling king safety values, I do scale black and white independently. >P.S.
