Why don't soldering iron stands say what size soldering iron they're for?

Not received the boards, yet (soon), but already I've noticed a mistake. I didn't specify the solder stencil size. The default is quite big, for my tiny board. Also a filial, to line the board up would have been a good idea.
I used to design PCBs (a long time ago) and found SMT more challenging, as all the pins are on one side. Even on a simple board, I needed a feed through to another layer, as some tracks were trapped. There was one track I'm still not happy with, as it has long tracks parallel on both layers.
The idea was for a small simple board, to learn SMT soldering, and where mistakes wouldn't matter.
Board was designed on KiCad. Manufactured by JLC PCB.
Ordered my first PCB design, today. I wonder what I've messed up?
Today's watergram/luminogram. Getting funky with the designs.

Been building an audio player, based on Adafruit QT Py. This will get fitted into a conch shell.
