Please tell me you wired the scaffolding to the side of the house framing at regular horizontal intervals. No attempt at sarcasm here; many people unused to working on scaffolding are unaware that this needs to be done to stabilize the column. It can still feel pretty hairy (as you so beautifully describe) but the chances of tipping are enormously reduced. 
Edited to add: I'm assuming (always dangerous) that working on soffitt means your scaffolding is very close to the wall.
