Welcome to the board !
Not really the case anymore, bigger is just a lot more cash and a big money pit with disappointment if things don't work out for you in the end. Learn the ropes with minimal investment to see if this hobby is for you and I'm not suggesting cheeping out with you gear or materials. There's lots of smaller set-ups here and on other boards that are very successful . Have fun !

For something that small i'd skip the skimmer since water changes are so easy on little tanks, you could do a high % water change every week and that will take out way more than a skimmer could ever do
Even tho smaller tanks are "harder" to keep all it is, is that the changes happen faster compared to a bigger tank, Nice thing is tho about smaller tanks is that ability to do good % water changes say 50% is only like 5gallons totally manageable. Keeps the need for dosing and running other stuff cause the WC will replenish all is needed for parameters For the back if I were you you could get some filter floss and maybe a bag of carbon ( and GFO if needed) or chemi-clean works good in little tanks
