While there is no formally defined size threshold for switch over to using 48 prims (since it depends on a lot of things including visual look), the normal 16 segment prims are fine for such a small detail level.
Oh. The thing is, some software like LDView or Bricklink Studio has an option of substituting 16-primitives for 48-primitives for smoother rendering quality (which is pretty good thing to have in cases when you are making then stuff like lego renders - 16-primitives look a bit too angular with commonly used resolution like 720p, 1080p or higher.
I originally thought that this is one of intended uses of the 48-primitives, if not then this topic is irrelevant, but I think still that it would've been good to have standardised high-resolution primitives to be universally used in the mentioned cases, and not only for bigger circular/spherical details which require use of 48-primitives to look good
