Purpose of large bases?
Telepads for one, but since your vil, that can be done in no time...
Big bases are usally great for Raids.
These are all great points to bring up that show how lacking bases can be. However, you can still function with the maximum amount allotted, especially if its just a personal base. Hopefully these issues and many more will be fixed before my time on earth is through.

No, once you've got all the functions set up, there's not alot you need the extra room for. Obviously, you can use the space to make your salvage storage a bit more coherent. (I have three workshops, one for each level range of salvage. Makes the sorting a bit easier.) And SGs can suck up alot of space with telepads if they decide to go for the whole 22.
Is there something I'm missing that I could do with a large base but not a small one? I'm not interested in aesthetics, just functionality.

Also, don't forget to install the other function items - inspiration and enhancement storage, invention table, Ouro pillar, vault access for 30 more un-shared storage per character..... and there's also the inspiration vendors, but those need SG badges to unlock, if I recall correctly.

I think I've got all that, except the Ouro pillar since I don't know where to get it or what I'd use it for. Stuffed in all three levels of empowerment stations for both tech and arcane, two ley taps because I couldn't figure out why I'd need the megajumbo power thing and it was 5m, the works.

I'm red side, so there's no need for extra porters - the 8 I have now take me everywhere I can go. Raids.. well, I built this to be a raiding guild, but that didn't exactly turn out the way it was advertised.
Looks like I'm turning off prestige generation. There's nothing useful for me to do with the stuff if I get it.

Ouro portal is under the Control Items tab in the editor. You could use it to access the flashbacks without going to the Ouro zone.

I agree that all the "useful" things can be on a relatively small plot. That just leaves lots of room to decorate. That's something that may or may not float your boat - it's not for everyone.

Alright, so I reclaimed leadership of my VG last night after a long hiatus. During the 45 day wait, I ground out about 8m prestige, which left me sitting on 10m total. I've heard people talk about creating their own VG for use in storing salvage, enhancements, etc, and I figured I'd really go all out.
So come to find out yesterday that I can only have 18 storage units PER BASE. I can afford to purchase the largest non-secure plot and fill it with rooms, but thanks to the absolute maximum on storage units I can only stash 540 units of salvage, and less if I want enhancement storage as well.
Items of Power aren't in the game. Storage is limited to 18 bits per base, which you could cram in with two storage rooms. Teleporters take up a bit of space, and adding a medbay takes a bit as well, and then you've got power and control rooms. But after that.. what's it all supposed to DO?
I put a lot of time and effort into grinding out the prestige to build this thing, but it really doesn't seem that sizes beyond about the 3rd or 4th provide any additional functionality. Sure, I could build a massive RP coffeehouse or bar - but there's already Pocket D.
