Either yes, if you are open to reading "class requirements" as including "class feature requirements," or no, if you strictly interpret class requirements to just be things like the Anstruth Harp bard attunement requirement.
I figure spell scrolls/gems are either class requirements because it requires a class spell list or are spell requirements because the specific spell must be on your class spell list (this is the way I believe it to work). Either way, item savant ignores those requirements.
Lol I skipped right over "class, race, spell, and level requirements". Yeah, slam dunk, Artificer definitely can use those.
Now thief's use magic device feature on the other hand does not mention attunement or spells the way artificer's item savant does. Which leads me to believe that thieves can't use spell scrolls, spell gems, or attune items that have a requirement they don't meet.
I was hoping this to be the case, I want to play an artificer that can craft higher level gear and so needed to find a way to get spell requirements for legendary level gear. I figure spell gems and scrolls would allow for the higher level spells in those situations. I hated the thought that artificers weren't as good at crafting magic items as wizards at the higher end since magic items are an artificers specialty.
What about level requirements of those spell scrolls? My guess is that you still have to make the ability check if it is higher than your level:
If the spell is on your class's spell list but of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC is 11. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other effect.
while we are talking about artificers and their features, after you reach 10th level, you can make common and uncommon magic items faster and cheaper, spell scrolls are pretty cheap to make, especially when using the rules provided in xanatars guide to everything. Since you can make scrolls of any spell on your spell list if you prepare them, and since there is a bunch of overlap in the artificer and wizard spell list, you could probably make yourself an profitable little enterprise selling spell scrolls to different wizards across the world at cheap prices, assuming wizards are sufficiently common in the game world you play in, ether in the form of orders my mail or just having an physical location for your company at an major wizards academy, or some combination of the two

Does Magic Item Savant allow you to use Spell Scrolls and Gems from class lists outside of the Artificer spell list?
As far as I can tell it does.

I'm going to make this way harder than it needs to be.

Do you agree?
