I would think the second bullet would include cards like Into the Smoking Cone, which requires the existence of a non-targeted sage, so I am not concerned about it being redundant with the first bullet.
I am sure that it would include cards like Into the Smoking Cone.
With of without:
Any card requiring a sage to play is a sage only card.
that effectively makes Into the Smoking Cone a
Sage only.

It is not clear to me what your post about factions and not liking Gnaw With Words is intending.
If some rule is referring to a card that requires a faction, then such reference is valid for Tribute Garnered, Trouble on All Borders, and Stone of Erech.
If it is undesired that the reference would point to hazard cards, then change the reference. If it is undesired that the reference would point to cards that target a faction, then change the reference.
Trying to prove that Tribute Garnered or Trouble on All Border do not math the reference is backbreaking.
Primary use of Gnaw with Words requires a Sage (and the requirement normally cannot be fulfilled by anything else, like Dwarf, for instance).
Alternative use of Gnaw with Words requires a Diplomat (and the requirement normally cannot be fulfilled by anything else, like Dwarf, for instance).
If fact that only firs use requires Sage and only second use requires Diplomat, would indicate that the card itself does dot require Sage/Diplomat skills, then consistently Spies Feared may be considered the card not requiring itself Scout nor Ranger.
(Un)fortunately there is no counterpart of Palantir of Annuminas that would fetch a cards requiring Scout skills, or Ranger skills, in case of which such approach would fail visibly.
