Do I need a 48" aisle here?

In my current kitchen I have an island cooktop with a counter-depth fridge and ovens in the cabinet run behind it. It is perfect for me. I can pivot from fridge to prep space next to the cooktop and pivot to take things out of the oven and set them on the island. I love the set up and recreated it in my planned remodel. I've had this new kitchen designed for a year and we just started the remodel. I had the sudden realization that I have a 48" fridge in the new kitchen and that may impact the aisle!! I've mocked up and measured the door swing and taken my measuring tape to the appliance showroom etc. There is room for me and the door in a 42" aisle. My MIL has a 48" aisle and it feels too wide...is it just wider than I'm used to or is 48" sometimes too wide? I'm linking my a thread with my floor plan. I would love your thoughts...
