The depth of field is smaller, but the difference is often exagerated. Many people would not notice that the DoF is a bit greater with the APS sensor size. I do fairly large prints. IME the smoothness depends on pixels and dynamic range and is nothing like the big difference we saw between MF and 35mm film for example. I do not believe that the size analogy is exactly the same as film. Sure larger sensor is better but this is more about dynamic range and high iso not smoothness of tone and detail, like it was with film. Bigger is better but in different ways (that are not so important for me). If you were talking film, I would agree.
