I don't have scaling and all application font sizes are stock. 31" is goldilocks for me, it is about having 2160 pixels good for programming, not smoothed out 'retina', but native pixels!
I have a failed product according to the marketplace - cinema 4096 x 2160 resolution @ 24Hz with extraordinary colour accuracy. Perfect for code, useless for gaming and 60+ Hz video.
I am not sure I would want a 27" 5K monitor, even if it did work properly (mine has an early DisplayPort interface, pre-dating useful standards). If you get a chance to look at a 34" 5K monitor then I reckon that could be what you are looking for. Any bigger and you have to crane your neck or push the monitor further away.
