I must miss something here. On a system with only few threads,
why would a smaller timeout be favorable?

I know there are places, even in firmware, for tight timeouts,
e.g. when you want to probe for something optional and still
boot fast or for responsiveness in a UI loop. But why here?
AFAICS, if we time out here, the whole system runs into an
undefined state. So it's not about boot times, is it?
