Originally, the reason for scaling images to 100% outside of InDesign was to unburden the processing requirements of the RIPs - it was disproportionately more work for the RIP to do it than Photoshop. It also helped keep the size of production files down if everything was size-as in the end.
These concerns aren't so much of an issue anymore. The only thing you should keep in mind is that if you are scaling images down greatly within InDesign you may not have optimal sharpening on the images. (in that one would sharpen an image differently at various final print sizes).
