I think you will rue that decision later, unless you are sure that you are
never going to add more packages (which will occupy some space in /etc and
/var, even with the bulk of the space being in /usr), never do updates
which may use more space in /boot, /etc/ or /var, and so on.

I haven't had a separate /usr partition on any system in a long time (and
I'm wondering why you want to do that), so I can't give any helpful amounts
on the minimum extra space you should leave.  But I strongly advise you to
give yourself enough extra space in / to handle future updates to your
system.
