I suspect I am not in the minority.
why not use character & fonts, & let the reader do its reflow/resize thing as per it's user preferences.
think of all those future readers who will be using smart phones/small tablets/ other beam-me-up-scotty gizmos....

You are a Minority
Books should look like BOOKS (within reason).
IMHO a 2em dropcap/big cap is within reason. 4 is overboard
Just like space around a Chapter head should be limited (IMHO <20% total)
