Isn't spool size more to do with tackle balance? Heavier thicker more wiry lines. Bigger spools and butt rings. More supple and thinner lines don't need to bigger spools which in turn don't need the bigger rings?

That's what makes the Areo Technium 10,000xt the best casting reel for heavy lines I've ever used.

But if you have the right technique then a bigger spool may equal a further chuck. You don't really see Terry using small reels when casting. And when he did, with 10lb and a braided shockleader, he did get some distance I cannot deny that. However, afterwards, he switched to a larger reel with the same 10lb line and shockleader, but then got a further distance.

Yeah mate, just do a little bit of practising and you'll be good

Take the 35 over the 45 for your rods, it will balance better.

The spools aren't really higher diameter between 35 & 45 models, they're longer.
Friction from the line releasing on the spool lip will limit distance a bit when the level of remaining line goes down, but with all due respect it doesn't sound like that will be an issue just yet.
You will be limited by technique, rod, line/load and then reel (in that order)

100% technique. I've hit a wall so to speak. On 3 people's set ups I struggle to get past 32 wraps. More than I need granted but it's certainly down to technique.
Latest c2 rods 3.5s
Longbow x45s 3.75
X5 horizons 3.5
Similar size reels and all on 15lb line. All pretty much land within a few feet of each other.
I'd have to get lessons to improve.
