From reading all the responses, and being a Volpe rider, my take is "hilariously thin" is only a thing if you are letting trends and advertising affect what you do. If you are satisfied at your current tire width and inflation pressure with your preferred tire it is a non-issue. By all means experiment, but the original question seemed more towards being trendy than that based upon need or practicality.
I used to ride towpaths and dirt roads on 25mm tires before gravel was a thing, and 32s were for older bikes. I did one ride with rear panniers with 25s. I no longer do loaded touring, and use 32s for all my riding, but not heavy duty tires, but extra-supple light tires (Rene Herse) and I have not had flat issues. Fortunately, Volpes are very flexible at many things and can fit a fairly large tire.
