I think that the ereaders will consent to You to change font size anyway (I did not try), but it is better to avoid to settle it

In my opinion the better choice for a publisher is to let free the reader to have the maximum possible control over font sizes and over font family, line height, margins (zero for me in css, then I use my Kobo to settle what I want).

Many publishers, or even worst self published authors, like to take decisions that should be taken by reader, but a ebook is not a pbook!
The big publishers do this as well. They also set margin.line hight, sometimes font size for body font, and sometimes embed fonts that are b=not eInk friendly (not nearly enough weight)
