I wonder if compilers actually inline functions that are only called
once.

Modern compilers will often inline functions that aren’t declared
inline, yes; I don’t know if “only called once” is a consideration. It’s
not implausible (possibly in a more general form, e.g. “will inlining
all calls take more or less space overall?”)
