Symbol Sprayer
I'm using Illustrator 28.2. Since I've been using this version, the symbol sprayer is acting odd. No matter what size diameter I select, it always sprays a tiny symbol that I have to enlarge. Not that big of a deal, except, most of the time it sprays multiple symbols and I don't know this until I enlarge it. Anyone else experiencing this?

Interesting. Works fine for me.
How large is your artboard? Can you repeat this in a brand new document, size Letter of A4, with a default symbol?
Do you sprayed symbols match the size of an instance of the same symbols you just drag-n-drop from the Symbols panel?
To be correct, increasing the diameter of the Symbol Sprayer tool does not increase the size of the sprayed symbols, — it just makes the area these get sprayed into larger.I often refer to this article from 2011m which explains the tool better than the native reference: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/09/an-in-depth-study-of-symbols-in-illustrator-cs5/
