If they are actually inside the iron scrap and not the walls mining out the pile will do one of 2 things. Break the draugr archer out of the scrap where you can hit it or push it into the wall where you can't.

Which gets you to the strategy that Scrambled onions recommends (you can also half mine the scrap pile so that nothing can pass through except arrows and use an aetgir or your bow through the opening on the body pile).

Once the body pile is dealt with you can fully mine the scrap heap and deal with the stuck archer that is now freed or if it is stuck in the wall grab the loot and move on past it.

The draugr maintains a steady pace of firing arrows you can dodge or block them or you can use the terrain (by going around a corner) to avoid them.

Well, the 'strategy' I used to fix the issue is just grabbing my stuff, dodging the first arrow and just hitting the scrap pile once with the pick-axe before being gunned down by multiple draugr archers at the same time from the walls of the room, and then just rinsing and repeating that until the scrap piles broke and opened it up for me to kill them.

But really, that 'should not' be happening in the first place. Draugr spawners need to be toned down.

You are being more than a bit dramatic. Unless you ran into a bugged body pile the body pile stops spawning draugr when there are 2 draugr within 20 meters of it. That means that the most dragur you can face at one time are the total that spawned in the room to start with (which is a maximum of 3). If there are 2 draugr and you kill one the body pile tries to spawn a new one within 3 meters every 6 seconds until there are 2.

If you mine out half the scrap heap and then kill all the draugr archers eventually you will have 2 melee dragurs that can't get past the scrap pile which will allow you to take out the body pile at range with your bow. Mining half the scrap pile gives you something to hide behind when dealing with the draugr archers that spawn inside the room. That means that you only have to deal with the stuck one. Which is easy enough to do once you get the timing of the bow shots down.

Farming body piles is a tactic that a lot of players use to stock up on entrails and to level up weapons or magic skills. I can assure you that they don't want the body piles changed since there are all ready effective ways to deal with them as they are now.
