It has a 6.4m (21ft 4in) primary mirror. Which, from a pragmatics standpoint, answers your question.
Though I suspect mission plans could be drafted for a larger scope yet.
Despite it's impressive number of steps, this does not look like good engineering.
Instead, it looks like a design by committee, with engineers going drunk on complex parts coming together rather than dumbing down the unfurling of this telescope down to its most basic possible mechanism, with the fewest moving parts possible (where failure is chronically always possible).
Seeing how overcomplicated this is, it's no surprise it cost $10 billion to build.
You're looking at a high-precision instrument, that's being fit inside a distinctly finite space and mass budget, that will have to operate for years (possibly decades), and which is beyond reach of any conceivable service mission for a very long time.
Movement, thermal control (the Webb operates in the low end of the visible spectrum, through the infrared, so its temperature itself is critical), alignment, and drift, all matter.
And every piece of equipment has to be tested and trialed to the maximum extent possible.
Yes, it's a bit Rube-Goldbergish, but then, so is the specification.
I wonder if you could make one with a few bits of lens that fold out? They'd have to be positioned more accurately that one wavelength of light (to ~100nm say or a 10,000th of a mm) which is tricky on earth but might be doable in space where you don't have gravity making things flop?
