It seems silly to let any other charachter use the skill on that scroll but the wizard, but maybe that's the brakes. If so, what would be the appropriate checks?

But if you did ban illusion, the PHB makes it clear that UMD is intended to let you use scrolls and other magic items that you could not activate normally. So yes, a wizard can use UMD to use any scroll, even divine scrolls, to cast a spell. The check is 20 + the caster level of the spell you are trying to cast. For invisibility the check would be 23 if the scroll in question was scribed at it's lowest caster level.
