Yeah. I would never do that. If one of my guys did that I would make them set a 20 space load center right next to it and send some circuits over there to give them a bit of future use space. I always put in 42 space for main panel resi

black electrical tape is at the bottom of the panel, they were marked, just not for the picture.

I believe this was 1 of 5 sub panels in the house. The home inspector got what he wanted, and either of his suggestions didn't really make sense, but it's what he wanted and what he got. The house sold and everyone went home happy. At least now there is actually room to add a dp breaker in the panel for a sub off that sub.

I would recommend taping the white hot conductors black, to show they are indeed feeding something. When I was an apprentice,I ended up blowing up half the appliances in someone's home because I mixed one neutral with a hot.

Always like to plan on having materials before the day of the job comes up. I want to be on the job early and get it done. Large jobs material can be delivered. Small jobs material can be picked up a few days before the day of the job.

always? We just did two service upgrades where one had 7 branch circuits and the other had 5. 30/40's are perfectly fine in those situations.

You can't win them all.  in the end it passed inspection, inspector got what he wanted, and it was left......slightly better than before.
Blame inspectors and code changes. There was nothing that was terribly unsafe before, just messy.

Unless you live out in the bush somewhere, why would you bother stocking a panel like this yourself? It's a common "A" item for every supplier and the price is the same for one as it is for fifty. This was a glitch. My favorite supplier ran out of three way switches last week. Somebody actually came in and cleaned him out just before I got there. Does that mean I should maintain my own warehouse just in case the supplier runs out of something?
I believe in lean and mean. In a normal day I would drive past at least five places selling a panel like this. The supplier maintains a warehouse. I don't.
Duplicating your supplier's inventory yourself is...well...not smart.
