Do you think that having 2 sizes flop. 3 sizes turn. and 4-5 sizes river might be harmful and create worthless trees?
Just to give my opinion from my own experience: I had a BvB database of 163 flops which GTO+ estimated would be ~10GB using extensive storage (but when it saved the file, the actual size on the disk was only 5.5GB). I have an SSD, and it took about 20 seconds for the file to open up. Once I had it opened, then there wasn't really any delay while browsing different trees or even on turns/rivers when using the Play vs Solution feature.
You said you have a 2TB disk. I'm assuming that it's HDD, which will take far longer than SSDs to load the database.
Re: your last question - yes, 4-5 sizes on the river are certainly overkill. Keep in mind that the more options you give the solver early on in the tree at different decision points, your tree size will grow exponentially. And couple that with 4-5 sizes on the river, you will have humongous trees that will most definitely not be worth the hassle. Since it's BvB, 2 bet sizes on the flop is fine. Give the solver 3 options on the turn: 33% (as a probe only for SB), 67%, 150% (as a cbet only for SB). Remove all donks. This alone will make your database a lot smaller while barely losing anything in accuracy.
If you want to make the tree even simpler, then just give 1 flop sizing (33%), 2 turn sizings (67% and 150%) and 3 river sizings (67%, 150%, all-in). This will do well enough.
