Apart from FAT16/FAT32/ISO 9660 compatibility reasons, are there any benefits to keeping MaxVideoFileSize for recordings at <= 2GB?
I was considering setting it to something arbitrarily larger such as 16GB but just wondered if I was causing any unexpected side effects.
As long as your filesystems can handle this size, you can choose it.
I still use max. 1GB file size, because in of failed transfers what ever kind it is still much easier to handle than one large file ...

Not from within core VDR. If you want to transfer or post-process video files >2G, you should make sure that everything in the processing pipeline can handle large files. However, you can always split a recording later by changing the file size and do another editing run within VDR.
The only exception for VDR is the use of the hard link cutter patch: This patch depends on recordings to be in many small files, to gain speed on editing.
Cheers,
