You actually want more reduction with bigger tires to offset the rotational mass more than the tire height. Math wise the extra reduction helps offset friction loss from the added gears, bearings and fluid losses. That extra 5% friction loss might need 7%-10% reduction to have a net zero effect...
It is interesting to hear that the 10% turn gear reduction has no mpg penalties as I the math says you want 20%+ reduction with a 40" tire. A lot can be deducted from mileage on the dash vs strain on the drivetrain.
Biggest Con in my book is the long term serviceability and parts availability...
