There are two generations of the Dell XPS 13, at first they had a 3200x1800 display, they switched to 3840x2160 last year.

In my opinion 3200x1800 at 13.3" is more than enough already (I own one) but I guess marketing wanted more.

Yes, I also have the old 2015 model (3200x1800). Definitely, good enough in my opinion too.

Are they in the range where the UX size can be doubled without being too large?

Yes. 2x worked perfect for me at 4k, and its the default for hidpi settings I think. When I switched to 1080p I had to manually increase font sizes (not overall scaling) because the default size wasnt sharp/readable enough. Its pretty cool 4k now works so well out-of-box on Linux. It was nightmare in 2015.
