Linux kernel 6.1 or 6.6 for OpenWrt 24.x release?

The firmware overall size is not the only problem. Some bootloaders
might have trouble loading larger kernels. Even today, some devices
cannot handle initramfs (kernel+rootfs). We should try to focus on
migrating more stuff into modules, which might also save some extra
RAM for drivers only needed by some devices.
