I use a mirrorless camera as a webcam. I want it to feel to the viewer like I am looking at them.
The larger the display is, the further away from my line of sight the camera is.
I love the small MBP display as I can place the large camera just above the webcam, and when I'm in a meeting the small screen places the persons face directly below the camera... and they feel like I'm looking at them directly, and it does make the meetings more engaging.
So that's my primary setup... and sometimes I want a 2nd display for documents, web pages, data. But not so large that it unbalances the use of the MBP display.
My absolute ideal would be something of equal resolution and colour control as the MBP, twice the size of the MBP screen, in portrait mode beside the MBP screen (the MBP is on a stand so would be halfway up the screen), that also looked good... and hey if I'm dreaming then a USB-C connector and smart stuff so that adjusting brightness worked on both displays at once.

..get an iMac and put it on its side?
Jokes aside looking at EIZO ColorEdge series might be worthwile.. -

Been thinking about this since you posted. I normally use my LG 5K 27" for video calls but as the camera sits so high compared to my face everyone looks down on me. This isn't the case on my MBP so I'll start using that for calls instead I think
Good point - thank you

Wouldn't it be a neater solution to just use the MacBook Pro in clamshell mode and have one big screen that displays all your stuff?
