Yes and no....Do you need a V8 car to get to the local to buy some milk? Nup....
Boiler size becomes a case of bragging rights beyond a certain point and I reckon it's circa 1.4L for HX gear. In the real world, what you care about is can you pull two shots and does the machine have the steam capacity to texture the milk for them. So long as the answer is yes, the rest is unused. Steam pressure will be dictated by valves and the size of the holes in the tip as well as other hydraulics.
If you were to look at a VBM Domobar Junior v and Evo for example, the VBM gets the milk texture done more rapidly. The Evo has extra capacity though.
Tank size? Again, beyond a point, irrelevant. I'm currently using a Vesuvius via tank. I refill it every day regardless of how much I have used as the water has spent 24 hours sitting hot and stagnant . For mine, it's stale.
I'm not so sure about that...Have you listened to an Izzo Valexia?
The sound of flowing water is generally noisier than the pump....
