I would concur. Benzodiazepine therapy should be at the minimum effective dose to start with. If more is needed, more can be added later, but sticking to a lower dose means that if you develop any form of tolerance to the medication, an additional amount will not throw you into a whole different range of things.

I take high dosage benzodiazepines but I didn't arrive there all at once. And I am very slowly attempting to recede from at least part of them if it is successful for my disorder.

There's nothing wrong with them in principle, they're the safest psychiatric medications when taken as directed but caution must be applied with machinery, etc, until one has adjusted. Also those with the longest half life such as Klonopin and Valium are less likely to cause habituation than Xanax.
