What I observed in switching to shorter cranks is that the improvement in ability for high cadence is higher than what is necessary to keep the same power with the same torque. As a consequence, bigger gears are less necessary, you can just spin up the power.

I look forward to experimenting and seeing what it feels like.
With my 165s, I haven't noticed any increase in my preferred cadence.
