Brew 5 Gallons All-Grain with a 5 Gallon Kettle?!? (Irish Red)

Common advice for BIAB is to use a Kettle 2x or 3x the size of your target batch. For a low gravity beer, can you actually get away with a kettle the same size as your target volume? I put that to the test in this video were I produce 5.5 gallons of wort to yield 5 gallons of finished beer. The beer is a sub-5% Irish Red. The basic process is a mash that maxes out my kettle, followed by a dunk sparge, followed by topping up the fermenter with 2 gallons of water. It is a process that could be used to brew 5 gallon batches of low-gravity beer (4% to 5% ABV) or 3 to 4 gallon batches of mid-gravity beers.
