I don’t think so, unless your page templates are of the very static kind with 
little additional user interaction or animations. CSS animations in particular 
tend to add quite a bit of weight to stylesheets. And things like Jquery-UI 
tend to generate quite a bit of weight as well (their default stylesheet is 
_very_ bloated). Size of a stylesheet is never really a problem for modern 
browsers, they can easily parse through it without hick-up (unlike IE 6 which 
had an upper limit of 6000 selectors, IIRC).

You mention Sass & mixins. There is something I noticed on 2 different sites 
that rely heavily on those: the final stylesheet has multiple
@media min-width(value:x) {
        .class1 { property:value }
}
@media min-width(value:x) {
        .class2 { property:value }
}

instead of 
@media min-width(value:x) {
        .class1 { property:value }
        .class2 { property:value }
}
(with real property and value names of course) - that adds a bit of bloat to 
the sheet.

It is not clear to me if this is an inherent limit to Sass/mixins or a 
particular set-up. I personally have a hard time getting into a workflow with 
lots of Sass.

On the other hand, the 23k minified you mention, that boils down to what, 5~6k 
gzipped? So from a network point of view, not worth worrying.
