Likely depends on how fine a SMT pitch you can hand fab.
For me that is 0.5mm with 0.3/0.4mm being reserved for the
voodoo artists.

Working with the assumption here of 0.5mm, if you want to
route 45D traces and avoid angular creep you will need a
trace width/space of 7mils which is in general acceptable
by most prototype fabs.
