I've literally never been on a 5+ hour flight where anyone in the row in front of me didn't recline at some point.

I've discussed this with various people IRL. No one, including taller people than me, ever complained about people being inconsiderate for reclining. Every tall person complains about leg room.

The vast majority of people do not think it's inconsiderate to recline. They think it's normal and that the function is there for a reason.

I actually think it's inconsiderate to complain to the person in front if they want to recline. The only time that is acceptable is when meals are served.
