With Linux, you can get into those "tweaks" tools to separately set lower scaling (I go with 125%), but slightly larger fonts: less real-estate lost, still readable.
On Mac, as it has no subpixel rendering, going with anything less than 4K results in lack of smooth lines and jaggy fonts.
If there's one drawback, it's that rendering 4K can tax your hardware (eg even full screen 4K Google Meet on pre-Iris Xe laptop will keep your CPU pegged at 80%).
