I'd be wary of putting a number on it.  I think a pragmatic guideline
would be "no known community routinely uses (or has recently used) any
other script for this language".  If there is a community of users for
a "minority" script, or a non-trivial corpus of material, then using
Suppress-Script simply doesn't make sense, unless the amount of legacy
data tagged in the 3066 style is overwhelming AND all in the same script.
(There's that word again.)  Back to this particular case, it really looks
like this language shouldn't have a Suppress-Script.
