Apparently not as you just proved my point.

At high levels of play, runners really become like pawns in chess. They are used to scout, to provide cover, and support your heavy pieces. Its generally the heavy pieces that do the major work, regardless of how many runners get built and deployed.

Would it really be a bad thing if they didn't get used on smaller maps? It seems to me that would vary the viable strategies per map more as soldiers will never fully be the new runners with their movement.
