If you're asking if it's okay to use a 30a breaker on wire rated for more, the answer is yes.

Well, some jurisdictions require a minimum service size for new installations.
I suspect they would not enforce that on rewires of existing installations. But the only way to tell for sure would be to ask the AHJ.
