Don't forget big numbers. If you tell someone in a business that their account has two million, three hundred seventy-four thousand, five hundred and twenty three dollars and sixteen cents in it, they'll get really annoyed.
Well certainly depending on context, if I was writing dialogue that it precisely how I was taught to write it, and would see it as dissonant if it didn't happen. If I'm citing a statistic, year, or fact that becomes another matter. Or of course something like a bank statement I would expect numbers.

But while still within prose I was taught to prefer stating a number unless there's a good reason not too. And titles are closer to prose and more formal (or "titular") on top of that. Quite aside from this board there's plenty of precedent for Roman numerals in this context. Ours being a little higher doesn't really change this to me. .
