I can tell you the reasons for using koi8-r, euc-jp etc instead of utf-8

Hardly "significantly smaller".
Especially considering that you are limiting yourself to a very small
set of characters. As a result, you have to put the ugly hacky "ru" and
"ja" on the pages rather than the proper "Русский" and "日本語" which
users are more likely to recognise. Yes, I know you can use numerical
entities in HTML to achieve this nonetheless, but the more you use
those, the less of a "benefit" your legacy encoding becomes.
