But in situations where one can afford it: why not allow oneself some luxury there ;-) At least I sometimes do. (bearing also in mind that paper costs are not a real argument nowadays, once you look at it…)
I fully agree with you, but OTOH I find A4 paper somewhat too small for providing nice margins (in general). For that you often have to use smaller staff sizes - which isn't a bad thing in itself but has the risk of the score looking somewhat less impressive than possible.
I recently made a style sheet mimicking a certain type of Universal Edition scores. They use a paper that is only a little bit larger than A4 (paper is 23.2x30.4cm, margins are 1.8/2.2 cm, top/bottom 1.6/1.7cm. And with that I could simply use LilyPond's default font/staff-size settings, and it looks wonderful.
