The whole thing comes down to if you want to keep the blockchain small or not. But I think that it does not really matter how big the blockchain gets, there is really nobody downloading the whole blockchain anymore anyways. It was a pain to download 300 GB of blockchain and the same it would be a pain to download 3 TB of blockchain. If you want to do it to run a node then you will also download 30 TB. If you are a end user you will not download 500 GB, 1 TB or 100 TB.
In my opinion it does really not matter.
