the only way that non-monetary data could make the blockchain grow faster is if you believe there are not enough monetary transactions to fill blocks. Is this something you think is currently true?

Yes.

It seems then that full smaller blocks would probably be better than partially full current size blocks. (unless this is just a temporary anomoly)

I think that once upon a more peaceful time, Luke was arguing 200kB soft-blocklimit (like it used to be 750kB) which was a meaningful thing to propose (though I wouldn't have gone for it personally)

It was 300kB.

If we had 300 kilobyte blocks starting today, it's 1x the peak sync time in 2019, and we get back to the 2013 sync time in 2035.
