It depends on the time of day and where you're pointing the lens, but you can
get banding with a polarizer on a 24. Try it yourself and you'll see the
limitations.
It does get worse below 24mm, as the band of polarization is much narrower than
those lens' FOV. I notice it on my Voigtlander 15mm lens without a polarizer.
