Default Toilet to wall clearance
How much is too much? 3"? 4"? 6"? I've seen all of those.

3" here. New construction.

If it is away from the wall at all, it really does not matter how far at that point.

If it is away from the wall then the installer did not follow the recommended guidelines.

Looks like they roughed in for a 12" flush and installed a 10" flush instead.
It does look close to the wall on the left side though.
15" to 18" preferred.
