The less teeth, the less the sprockets (and the chain) last. I'd rather go + than -. Especially wouldn't reduce the, already small, number of front sprocket teeth.

Exactly.
The same as for faster gearing, better to add +1 up front (and cheaper), than to deduct at the rear.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
