Default Downsizing hot water tank

We have a 40-gallon tank (electric) that is 26 years old and seems to be in perfect working order.

When it does fail, does it make sense to install a smaller one as there are only the two of us?

Most online references say a 30-gallon would be sufficient.

Would it be cheaper to run, or are they all so well-insulated these days...

Thank you
