There is also the aspect of seeing the whole of a very small garden at one
glance. In a big garden you can have things that have gone over , which
are less visible. in a tiny space - mines 6mt by 8mt - you see every weed,
dead twig etc. I tend to keep a lot of stuff in pots so that I can
rearrange things as they go over.

My one tree in the garden is a large Rhus in a huge pot :~)) It's has
sentimental value as it came from a runner from our old house. And at
least it's architectural in winter :~))

That would be a compromise solution for the cut it down/let it grow debate.
Trees in pots. Very big pot=very big tree.
Before you are all overcome with enthusiasm for the suggestion I must warn
you that the blooming things fall over in high winds.
In my case a substantial palm thing, in a pot, did a good impression of a
Catherine wheel and demolished several other plants and pots.
Downright dangerous-must nail it down.
