Sorry not to be totally convinced. We had exactly opposite results. Actually with 0.5mm plated via diameter we had less wicking than with 0.4mm diameter vias
under DPAK, QFN...
The root cause according to us must be capillary actions.
No results with 0.3mm.
Nobody else with same experience ????
My 2 cents.

larger holes actually increase solder wicking, especially with lead free. go smaller!
