problems with too small smd resistors is pretty well known... this thread is about pot resistance element media...
This thread has veered enough I don't see why SMT would be off limits. It's not just about size, a bunch of 0805 from different manufacturers will measure and sound different.
For pots in particular, and components in general, differences are easily audible in high impedance, high voltage applications, like guitar amps. Less so, but still sometimes exist in low voltage, low impedance
