Does the general consensus of 32C still stand?
Yes 32mm is a fairly typical size for that load. Folks go narrower and wider, but 32mm is probably the most common size I saw folks using on tour with similar loads. I go narrower these days myself, but when I packed a bit heavier I thought 32mm was the sweet spot for me.
