You already have 'html, body { font-size: 100%;}', which means
"browser-medium" and/or "user preference".
100% = 1em, and if you're happy with that then there's no need to
declare a new font-size on body.
Since not all browsers adjust "medium" to go with different
screen-resolutions (DPI) the same way - or at all, and different
font-families will _appear_ to have different sizes, any assumption of
what's a reasonable 'smallest font size' for viewing at the user-end
will end up as a "best guess" anyway.
I stay at or close to the 100% font-size whenever clients allow me, and
if they don't then they usually want to make the font-size "slightly
larger" one or more times - once they have received some feedback, until
we're back at close to the 100% I started out with.
