I think you'd just be compensating for a lack of private part mass.
As the OP wrote, it's useful for small wheels. On a 20" drive wheel, a 60/11 is only 107 gear inches, lower than what's on most road bikes these days. I have a 58T on my bike, with a 26" drive wheel, and consider it just about right.
