All 650Rs (Much) smaller front fluid reservoir, will it be a problem?

Good day guys!

Just curious, if I replace the front stock reservoir with a smaller one (for example Brembo 15ml), will it become a problem? Or can I still use it, but have to check the brake fluid level regularly, due to brake pad wear in the future?
I saw many guys upgrade the front brake system: new calipers, new master cylinders, new brake lines and stuff, but they are using a much smaller front reservoir. Is it alright?
Here is an image to show how small the Brembo's reservoir is:

Thanks,

As long as you have enough fluid that is moved operationally, and you have enough to cover for pad wear, you’ll be fine.
