Yeah, I hear you. You're not wrong. If it were me, I'd go for the 41mm version, but that's just my preference. I'm probably brainwashed by the 90s too. For me, if a watch is available in a size I would prefer (40-42 mm), I'd go for that. I'd only consider a smaller size, if it were something that didn't come in the size I like... OR if I were looking for it to be something to hand down to one of my daughters. In the end, if you are always going to be hung up on the size of the 34 mm, I'd take a pass... it'll probably bug you.
Nah, wear what you like. Until the 90's most watches were way smaller anyway... 34-36ish. I'm pretty sure 37mm was "jumbo" at one point. I usually go larger (40-42 mm), b/c it's what I like. But, that wouldn't stop me from wearing a cool vintage watch. Sometimes a smaller, more subtle watch can look pretty elegant... Cartier Tank, JLC Reverso, etc. (just coincidence that I picked two rectangular watches!)
