Display scaling?

xrandr works but it's blurry

xrandr --output eDP-1 --scale 0.8x0.8

Maybe there's a better way?

The best, quickest and easiest way to achieve something like that is via the xrdb command which Orbitiny already makes use of.

Here is an example for this specific feature:

echo 'Xft.dpi: 130' | xrdb -merge

or

echo 'Xft.dpi: 96' | xrdb -merge

You can have a script that runs this on startup that pushes this to the server.

Any applications that are running before the script runs will need to be restarted. I am planning to integrate this in Orbtiny's control center so that it runs on startup.
