I am wondering if I should upsize an existing 2" horizontal (ABS), nicely pitched that serves both my kitchen and clothes washer.. There is a new 2" wash machine drain. 1 1/2 kitchen, running horizontal then connected
to a 2" line that runs about 30 ft before connecting to 3".

based on fixture units i realize that the 2" is fine. As a matter of practice should the 2" be upsized to 3"? Or is 2" better than 3" for keeping the pipe clean?

Washington State with UPC code is okay with 2" for a sink and washer.
Some codes like to see 3".

Sinks are 2" with a 2" cleanout and 1.5" for trap and vent.
