As someone who frequently works on teams of 10 or less this is exactly what I'm worried about. Trello is a great tool for our needs. I've been in bigger orgs that used JIRA and understand why that made sense, but I'd resent having to use it on a small team.

I used JIRA in very small teams but took great care to configure it sensibly (it took quite a bit of work, I'll give you that). Everyone was happy and even commented on how it made life a lot easier than github issues or whatever other tool they used before.

The biggest problem JIRA has is tons of legacy that nobody needs (like subtasks, a pain in the ass to work with).

Configure the tool properly and it's actually quite nice to use, especially in combination with Confluence for specs.
