On a road bike with quick release axles, I could ditch the adjustable wrench. But on my townie with axle nuts and a big trunk bag, I go big.
Yup, a friend carries a Silca tool roll on his disc brake road bike for the same reason.

Fortunately, the old QR skewers are their own tools. One less thing to carry separately. But if I ever get a disc brake bike I'll need a larger bag than my Lezyne Road Caddy.
