It depends on your approach. Three pixels were used in extended and the forks using the extended styling as that's the minimum height to render a discernible rectangle border for the outline style of the control io versus the filled signal io.

Ah, so the 3-pixel inlets are an anomaly! I think that should be corrected to 2 pixels then - it seems too minor a detail to clutter up preferences with.

Inlets&outlets are 2 pixels on linux and windows. It's a Tcl/Tk rendering inconsistency that makes inlets (if I remember correctly) appear as 3-pix-high rectangles with empty centers. Extended (which was primarily developed on a Mac) took this as the 'preferred' look and altered outlets to look like inlets (unlike the original design).
Which is better is a matter of judgement - but if inlets/outlets are grown to 3 pixel, then boxes should get another 2 pix of height. I'd suggest making this a "preference", perhaps selectable in the "font size" window.

It's on the list. I have the sizing from extended mostly working which fixes the object & atom sizing issues we're seeing with 0.48.

If you’re considering cleaning up things of this nature, then I’d add that outlets currently only extend two pixels into objects, messages, etc., whereas inlets extend 3 (and are therefore much easier to see). This is the case on macOS, at least.
If this was by design, then please ignore : )

So it would be fine to use the same vert sizing as object boxes? I have that now in some testing and it looks good, especially for symbols. Maybe I'm too picky with the details :)

I think there's only a very stupid, short-sighted reason: since numbers never have descenders, it wasn't necessary to add a pixel of whitespace underneath the rendered string. I was intent on reducing the size of everything to its absolute minimum.
I was forgetting about (or maybe not anticipating) "symbol" boxes - it's easy to make symbol box text collide with the box's outlet. And "|" characters can hit the bottom edge of the box even away from the outlet.
