5GB and a few millions rows isn't actually all that much.

Really depends on what you're doing. If you're running very short
queries that pull out just a record or a few records, then you're going
to be unhappy with the planning time required when you have hundreds and
thousands of partitions, which is why I typically recommend against
using partitions-by-day unless you're only keeping a few months worth of
data.
Thanks!
