Using a higher batch size often does have several benefits:

1. **Stability:** Larger batches can stabilize the gradients, which may prevent training from diverging.
2. **Accuracy:** Some research suggests that networks trained on larger batch sizes (to a certain point) generalize better on test datasets.
3. **Computational Efficiency:** GPUs are often more efficient when fully utilized with larger batches. This can lead to faster training times per iteration.

However, there are reasons why smaller batch sizes, especially for certain deep learning models or tasks, or specific hardware configurations, may be advisable:

1. **Memory Constraints:** The RTX 3060 with 12GB of VRAM is a capable GPU, but its memory may be a limiting factor for some large models or high-resolution datasets. A smaller batch size reduces the GPU memory requirement, allowing for the accommodation of more complex models or larger input sizes.
   
2. **Regularization Effect:** Some research indicates that the noise introduced by small batch sizes can have a regularizing effect, potentially helping to prevent overfitting.
   
3. **Faster Convergence:** Even though each epoch takes longer with smaller batches, training might converge in fewer epochs. This means that you might get to an acceptable level of accuracy faster with smaller batches.
   
4. **Gradient Updates:** With smaller batch sizes, the model gets updated more frequently. This means the model can start improving right away instead of waiting to compute the gradients over a large batch.

5. **Training Dynamics:** In some tasks, especially ones with complex or non-standard loss functions or training dynamics (such as GANs), smaller batch sizes can offer more stable training or other advantages.

In the context of the Dreambooth model for Stable Diffusion, it's possible that smaller batch sizes were recommended either due to the specific dynamics of the training process or to fit the memory constraints of the RTX 3060. Always keep in mind that there's a trade-off between batch size and the aforementioned factors, and the optimal batch size can vary depending on the specific model, dataset, and training objective.
