Was I wrong all along?

In my experience - mostly - yes.  A lot of people (many of whom should have
known better) got all bent out of shape over the object size - but it was
never a big deal unless you were really tight on DASD.  The PGM objects are
bigger - yes.  But that's not particularly meaningful in and of itself.  The
generated code makes extensive use of service programs which in the end
should reduce the memory footprint.

In the early days there were a few programs that utilized specific features
that caused performance issues - but that was 10 years ago.  Most of these
issues have been addressed and I can't recall the last time that anybody
told me that the performance was worse.

Somebody else mentioned that you had to be "real" ILE for the optimizer to
do anything for you.  I've had many customers tell me that it improves the
performance of their "ordinary" RPG IV programs.  Your mileage may vary.
