I don't think so. However, remember that /32 is the smallest size that
anybody can get, so the common size is likely to be quite a bit larger.
The cornershop ISP who only has a few thousand customers will be
assigned a minimum of a /32.

Maybe in RIPEland, but not at other RIRs.  From experience at a past job (ILEC in Hawaii) I note that ARIN gives a /32 to a network that has 100k+ DSL lines and many leased-line customers.  However, they apparently reserve the 2 adjacent /32s for growth.  So, you're either forced to hand out /56s or do the CPE part in stages, if you hand out /48s to everyone as a /32 is only 65536 /48s.
