I personally do like to raise humidity a bit, lowering Transpiration after interventions, feels like they recover slightly faster. Especially at a young age topping/defoliation slows everything down a couple of days, your are right thumb rule says +-3 days when you put high stress on them. You could have done both topping and a minor defoliation at the same time. If you now wait till they recover and intervene again with defoliation you will send them back to recover again. But in the end giving stress/training to a plant at a young age might slow things down a bit but you end up with a plant that has a better structure potentially yielding more
