It's simple to set this variable in an ansible.cfg but it makes sense only for hosts that do not have sftp (and most likely python as well). So I have a group for routers – is it possible to set this variable in group_vars?

I'm not sure about group vars but you can set that option from the inventory file via ansible_ssh_transfer_method=scp
.
Might also work for group vars.
Checked with version 2.3 of Ansible.

[routers:vars]
scp_if_ssh = True
ansible_scp_if_ssh = True
Doesn't work.
