This one-dataset, one-model approach leads to high computational overhead and impractical deployment. More critically, it overlooks a core challenge: poor generalization from reduced-resolution (RR) training to real-world full-resolution (FR) data. In response to this issue, we challenge this paradigm. We introduce a multiple-in-one training strategy, where a single, compact model is trained simultaneously on three distinct satellite datasets (WV2, WV3, and GF2). Our experiments show the primary benefit of this unified strategy is a significant and universal boost in FR generalization (QNR) across all tested models, directly addressing this overlooked problem. This paradigm also inherently solves the one-model-per-dataset challenge, and we support it with a highly reproducible, dependency-free codebase for true usability. Finally, we propose PanTiny, a lightweight framework designed specifically for this new, robust paradigm. We demonstrate it achieves a superior performance-to-efficiency balance, proving that principled, simple and robust design is more effective than brute-force scaling in this practical setting. Our work advocates for a community-wide shift towards creating efficient, deployable, and truly generalizable models for pan-sharpening.
