In other words, from what I've seen, Android scales up the apps pretty well. I don't see a lot of apps that need optimizing for tablets. The problem I've had is in the opposite direction: I can't get tablet-optimized apps on my tablet because I can't run Honeycomb on it.

Apps may scale well, but they don't make use of the extra real state on tablets. Honeycomb has additional APIs that allow apps to change the layout based on the screen (so you could for instance have a 2-pane window on a tablet, and a single pane on a phone). Apps will only look at their best when they use the new APIs and are optimized for larger screens.
