It depends on the inspector.
You're correct about code and safety. Bigger wire has less loss and
will stay cooler.
Inspectors may look at a job, see a 15 amp breaker and yellow NM, and
insist on the "correct size" breakers, and the "correct" 15/20A outlets.
Sadly, code is often what the local inspector thinks it is.
