That's pretty extreme.

It is. I don't have an issue with it, it would just be one of those things. I'm not sure how I'd want it to be, to be honest. I like titans with other titans to be similar as humans to other humans. I'd also like some weight and strength values that make sense according to something.

This still leaves the problem that the titan will have difficulty counting out tiny coins. One nice way to solve this would be to mimic an ability from the "Handy Haversack", which effectively helps you grab the contents you want - the titan imagines which coins they want, reaches in, and finds those coins in his hand without having to tediously feel around for the minuscule coins. Another option would be to let the magic bag merge coins into bars and vice versa.
If you don't want magic items everywhere, perhaps the city itself has some kind of system that provides the magic (obelisks evenly distributed around town, perhaps), so the bags only function in the city (and if taken outside the city, the contents stays in the pocket dimension inside the city, and you just have an empty bag with some runes/sigils/etc on it).

I've always like Bag's of Holding, I actually used them in one campaign to replace modern credit card usage (you don't even pull out the coins, you just pour and the exact amount comes out into the "register" without either opening). As for large scale magic item usage, I actually like it, but I also like your idea of them being largely powered by the city, further increasing want to move there.

That's so awesome of you, thanks! 50/80 seems like good numbers to run off of. I might change things slightly, based on other setting needs (for instance, if there is an especially common race) but other I'll probably stick to that.

But I don't see lacking it as being game breaking for most players.

It's true, but what if fermenting wasn't possible? For instance, I know guns never get developed due to a lack of requirements necessary to get there (largely, a relatively safe explosive like gunpowder).
As for players, almost all my players far prefer illegal drugs to legal ones, for a variety of reasons. Plus, there's often too many alcohol plots I personally just don't care for and would rather restrict it in some manner.

Imagine humans regularly interacting with people as tall as a typical historical wargaming mini, or half as tall as a LEGO minifigure.

That's part of why I adore this idea. Imagine the titan commoner bowing to the faerie king, completely unironically.
