But there's plenty of "odd" sizes with lots of thumbs too. For example, over 65K files with width 181px
181px images are tipically made when 180px images are "bad", with the squid/scaler refusing to deliver the latest version. Adding 1px there forces a regeneration of the file, solving the issue. Going up to 65K seems too much, though.

I believe the status quo is no thumbs (of any size) are generated at upload time. They are all just done on demand.
That's correct in theory. In practice (for uploads using Special:Upload at least) the user is redirected to the file description page after a successful upload, which contains a thumb of the file of a given size (800px?), which is then immediately generated on demand :) . Special:UploadWizard has similar behavior: the success page contains 200px(?) thumbs of all the images the user uploaded.

Plus another tiny one at the file history section.
I remember seeing a change about rounding the requested image size some months ago, so the "request any size" may not be true any longer.
