Yes, I understand the reasons to have enough dynamic range and enough headroom. My question is about what specifically is enough.

I think 16-bit quantization noise level is usually lower than the noise of all the analog hardware before the ADC, but 24-bit quantization noise seems to be lower than even the internal noise of audio ADCs so there seems to be no reason to go higher.
