If the techs to increase the limit are plentiful and show up early enough, then I think this will not really be the world-shattering crisis that it looks like it will be.
That is certainly true. As I said, we'll see how 1.5 and 1.6 work regarding this.
But yeah I think there's good odds that it's fixed anyway, depending on how early and how many +core system techs there are.
