Considering our intelligence stems from our ability to use bayesian inference and generative probabilities to predict future states, are we even limited by brain size and not a lack of new experiences?

The majority of people spend their time working repetitive jobs during times when their cognitive capacity is most readily available. We're probably very very far from hitting limits with our current brain sizes in our lifetimes.

If anything, smaller brains may promote early generalization over memorization.

Sounds like a pretty big assumption.

It's the Bayesian Brain Hypothesis and Predictive Coding, both thoroughly researched theories that line up with empirical evidence. [1]
