I don't like mosquito repellant and I really, really don't like mosquitoes. I generally head inside the comfort of my tent with a good mosquito netting around sunset. Once inside for the night, I read or write until about dark. Then I sleep. I need a tent tall enough for me to sit comfortably.
Many times, I want one or more of my panniers inside with me. If it's raining, I want all of them inside or under the fly. I need a tent with enough room for me and my gear when I want.
I'm sure there are minimalists on a tighter weight budget than me that would like small pack size and light weight of your proposed tent.
