That part doesn't seem too unreasonable to me, but you could also just go with the largest available size and then scale it as necessary on the client.

Scaling down the largest size isn't always appropriate (though would probably work in most cases).

One example might be a set of images where the smaller images wrap text more agressively to work better on a screen that's not as wide.

Good point, I've seen comparable use cases in the wild but it slipped my mind!
