I believe that is a correct statement, that most aftermarket EFI suppliers do recommend a 112-116 LSA.

There are some caveats to that though, for example, throttle body injection as compared to multiport. Mutliport systems are more sensitive to LSA, or at least that's what I've seen/heard.

I have also seen/heard folks having issues with throttle body injection systems when the LSAs get into the 106-108 range, to a point where some either ditch the system or change the cam. In those cases closed loop is ineffective, and many statically map the fuel curve. When you think about it, you're pitching one of the basic reasons most even switch to EFI.
