No, the reason to try to match recordsize to the write size is so that a small write does not turn into a large read + a large write. In configurations where the disk is kept busy, multiplying 8K of data transfer up to 256K hurts.
This is really orthogonal to the cache — in fact, if we had a switch to disable caching, this problem would get worse instead of better (since we wouldn't amortize the initial large read over multiple small writes).
