I emphatically disagree.
Captain Lawrence smoked porter has a noticable smoked character with about 15% weyermann rauch malt, even with all the roasted grain.
To get a significant smoke character you'll need 50%
If you want it to be subtle, I'd say you could use it in the 10-20% range. It's a pretty light beer. I'm sure subtle additions of the smoke will show.
