Based on your experience, is there a stem width threshold for hairline weights that is no longer functional (considering it's typically used for display)? In other words, what is the minimum width you've been able to create a hairline at before the line starts to distort or cause problems at smaller point sizes or on the grid?
I'm experimenting between 10 to 14 units, and though I like the thinner option, 10 starts to seem a bit frail in some applications (ok if set at a very large display size). Just curious what others have found.

It's a large, display sans with a tall x-height, so the line still feels pretty fine but not frail at this size. If I dip more towards 10 (or 5, as James mentions), I suppose I'd see more evident kinking/jumping of handles as I get further along.
