I've had to do a lot of hand rework with 0201 parts in my previous day job.
I avoid designing any components smaller than 0402 into anything I expect
have to solder myself if I can get away with it. But on the bright side, I
remember when I was afraid of hand-soldering 0402 components; that all went
away once I got used to 0201, after which those great big 0402s began to
look like bricks under the microscope!

Anyway, on the subject of stepping on toes, I have projects in mind which
could be thought to compete with all of y'all's things. But I plan to buy
your projects, too! I think there's plenty of room for all of us to play
around scratching our retro-engineering itches. The more, the merrier!
