I see so much info about printing with larger nozzles and such. Not much on smaller. Is there anything I should worry about that I might not be expecting?

idler tension.

depending on your print, if you want a tiny nozzle it seems likely it is some detailed figurine of some sort. maybe a miniature.

when you print very tiny structures, but retract a lot, your drive gears can chew through your filament pretty quickly, because the retraction happens over the same bit of filament over and over again (because actual extrusion is so little).
