I think making recommendations for sea states that a 20' boat is capable of safely negotiating is subjective at best.

I compare being offshore to drifting a car. No matter how good you are you are still trying to control a wreck
. I agree that there are far to many variables to consider to really nail it down, but I also think there is much to be gained from a healthy discussion! The more people chime in the more I'm thinking your right keep it in the 0-3' maybe 4' depending on interval, wind, long term forecast etc otherwise don't head out. Thanks for sharing your experience!
