There has been discussion about use of <small> for subheadings back in 2013 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2013Jun/0005.html It was not made non conforming, but not encouraged either, in this context, as the semantics for <small> are fairly explicit, but its use in general does not reflect this.
