Toot Height Comment
KurtinStGeorge:
This thread begs a different question. So, Toot is getting noticeably larger and so is Lacuna. The guard must also be getting larger though not to same degree as Toot Toot. The White Council members present were noticeably disturbed when Harry summoned an army of little people, how disturbed will they be when many of those tiny fae are normal sized or close to normal sized fae?
Harry is scary enough when Mab empowers him; with the Banner, to command the fae like the Malks and other nasty types in Battle Ground, but he'd be terrifying if he can call his own normal sized fae army any time he wants them. It's only a matter of time before Toot and Lacuna will need full sized swords and perhaps the rest of the guard will get by with daggers.
Con:
Agreed. Even without the Winter Banner. Dresden has his own personal army.
Think of an army of the Tracker Jacker or the Wasp or Ant Man from Marvel.
An army that most people can't see, except the occasional flicker of light, he could quite literally order them to be his own personal assassins.
I don't think such an application occurs to Harry let alone for him to use it, but if I were a White Council Stooge or a Fae like Redcap, Vadderung or the Erlking it might occur to me then.
Thats why they were all afraid when Harry called them to service. Thousands of mini soldiers, when only a couple dozen killed a Summer Lady.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Tactically at the moment the Za Guard can provide reconnaissance and aerial supprt, but would also be useful for sabotage. Imagine if Harry had shown the Za Guard a handgrenade and said “extra Large pizza with everything on it, for the Fae who can collect the most of these from the Turtlenecks and their allies”
BOOM.
They sabotaged the car of the photographer Vince, imagine them fouling guns, pulling pins, stabbing eyeballs and at least in one case inserting a toothbrush where a toothbrush was never intended to go.
Getting larger they would be able to handle more direct warfare against a larger foe. Imagine a swarm of Little Folk taking on the Hounds with a load of small Molotov cocktails

But then, one has to ask, will they be as effective? Being tiny motes of light has it's advantages, like stealth and agility.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Their speed and agility seems undiminished, but as they get larger they can veil, and as Harry found out in Ghost Story your opponents rarely look up.
