Any benefit to upsizing my tires/wheels?
I know that there is always a tire debate happening so maybe this will lighten the mood :) I bought a new TT... small fella at 17 ft (21 ft with the tongue). For reference it's a clipper/viking 17B...

I'm not clear on something, what problem are you trying to solve? It's a myth that 13" tires are bad or prone to failure.
Myself having owned a similar sized single axle trailer with 13" tires for 10 years, I think you would be better off simply getting new 13" tires with a higher load range, but I think they are hard to find. I towed our little trailer out west on a 6k mile trip and another that was 3k miles. I ran the original set of 13" ST tires for 6 years and put at least 15k miles on them. I replaced them with the same size and load range. I never once had a problem.
Keep in mind to that increasing the tire size and load range will not increase your CC. You axle is the limitation.
