When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

However, the IBR specified is meaningless if the fabricator doesn't have it. Therefore if you plan to use IBR=t but the fabricator doesn't have that size you could get a surprise. It is always good to talk with your fabricator. He (she) will help you be successful.
For general designs you might look up the standard nose radii commonly available and then pick a size that is => t.

You should look through some material handbooks. Some grades of stainless steel are very ductile. I know that recommended bend radii for various grades of aluminium are all over the place.

I have had this discussion with a good sheet metal shop. They can bend "in air", but it is more expensive, and less accurate. You are better off conforming to their tooling.
