Ethereum is going to face the same scaling problems. Bitcoin is the leader of the market and I think it is gonna remain the reference for a while. The current problems are going to be solved this year IMO and Bitcoin in going to regain all the market it lost.
This doesn't mean that Ethereum is will not be huge in the future.
I am in some of the Ethereum Gitter channels, and they have a few immediate problems to address, but they have a very strong and talented team of developers in all the channels I have visited and are great problem solvers.
As for the scaling issue, that is something Ethereum will address when they release their Metropolis release of their protocol and move it from a PoW to PoS system. It may happen this fall if they can clean up the current problems (like with the sinking of their Ropsten testnet which replaced Morden after that was taken down by hackers), their mainnet has been eminently stable for sync since they upgraded their main client, Geth to the 1.5 series using a new blockchain structure. And if they have no major problems in next Geth release to launch new testnet.
