"it would just take longer" is not something to handwave away. every confrontation bears the possibility of a slipup costing you your life and it "just taking longer" means more and more opportunities for just such a mistake.
lesser numbers means the mobs of old rarely descend on you. the lack of suspicious eyes and ears about is a boon to killers of every kind
lower pop numbers skews the balance in favor of antags more than ever, and implementing automated scaling mechanics will help address it while also meaning that you wont have to manually rebalance everything again if a player base surge should happen
but sure, hardmode traitors is a mechanic that already exists and can be used. but what would a hardmode ling or hardmode wizard or hardmode wraith look like?
