Sometimes i look at the 300 and think how cool it would look to have a heavily decorated (plants/dw) peaceful community tank. Tons of little tetras, cories and what not.
I Don't Know What to Keep Anymore :(

Forget a planted 300 unless you enjoy algae scrubbing haha! Okay with otocinclus you'll be okay but I'd hate to think what an ADA level 300 would cost to run. Low tech would be fun though
I wouldn't keep a 12-14" Knife in a 48" tank... Just my 2c
Hahah aint that the truth !

Ive had a few planted tanks amd never had an algae problem once
There are also a number of "mini monsters" you could use.

I must also be getting old because larger planted tanks look so nice and peaceful to me. Although I have never had to do much algae scrubbing with them.

Yeah I don't really run into issues either. I'm just wondering how you'd get in all the nooks and crannies of a tank that size 
It all depends on water, ferts, light cycle etc.

In my opinion, If it is set up properly, you shouldn't need too get into the nooks/crannies as you will have a clean up crew to eat any debris/algae and flow to prevent it from building up too much.
ive seen a 12-16in knife in 48in tanks more times then in 6ft tanks even cory from aquraium co-op on youtube says a bgk is fine in a 48in tank if you go on his oddball fish stream
+1 large or small same principles apply. I never got into high maintenance stuff but never the less i didnt have any algea problems.
Op what about a pleco tank ?
It's personal choice. I'm very happy seeing my group of 6" knives have plenty of space to run around in. It's okay but not ideal imo.
