I would say this is heavily dependent on the type of site. 
Functionality- and information-dense sites, particularly complex web 
applications, will have more trouble making a working/workable version 
at 320 CSS px width. It is not just the technology side that matters - 
as yes, technologies like responsive/adaptive web design are now fairly 
mature ... but it can be a challenge actually having to rethink how 
complex content and interactions can be made available in small-sized 
viewport.

And as most companies/sites (at least in my auditing experience) target 
a base of WCAG AA, changing the SC to A won't make that much of a 
difference in practice (and sites/applications that actively choose to 
ignore it for AA will likewise ignore it if it was A).
