Hi frithjof_v ,
As per my knowledge,there will be no impact on your storage if you are using direct lake or direct query.So, you don't have to worry about it as the data will be processed by only power bi engine when you are interacting with your reports as there will be no intermediate data staging on the semantic model.
I hope I have answered your query.

Will the choice between small or large semantic model storage format affect how much data a Direct Lake query can handle before it reaches it's limit (falls back to DirectQuery)?
Or is the choice between small and large semantic model storage format only relevant when using import mode semantic model?
Only relevant for the import mode queries in your semantic model.
