The Hayyei Adam Hil. Tzitzit 11:9 opines to not make a brachah nor to rely upon a small Tallit - except as an all day reminder - and to davka wear and make a barchah on a full size Tallit. "...Y'rei Shamayim Lo Yismoch al zeh [Tallit Katan] k'lal.."
Mashma, he does not favor the common Eastern Ashkenazic Minhag of Bachurim not wearing a Tallit Gadol. This seems to support the Western Ashkenaz and Eidot Mizrach Minhag of Tallit Gadol for all B'nei Mitzvah
Shalom,

that is probably based on the gra that you need a size larger than an amah
