I had a similar bout of mental gymnastics when I attempted to use a Dwarf ballista for the first time against a friend's Moria goblins.
From what I understand, the forces of Good are simply not allowed to shoot at an enemy if there's even the chance of it scattering to hit an ally. So that's within 6" for a trebuchet, and 3" for the smaller artillery.
I was very disappointed as I thought I had something that could really kill his Dweller in the Dark but as you say, unless I rolled to hit and THEN rolled a 6 for a direct hit, it would just miss a single model out in the open!

If I recall correctly, the scattered result can also be alocated to the original target of the shot - the opponent isn't forced to pick a different figure, and thus will be unlikely to choose one you would prefer.
If you want to hit a particular target, your best strategy is still to aim for that figure and either hope you get lucky, or make sure an Engineer Captain stands nearby to nudge the shot in the right direction.
