I'm inclined to disagree, I prefer to treat the cause rather than the symptoms.
I don't see any benefit in adding a safeguard to avoid triggering another
safeguard.

And how would you choose these arbitrary limits? What you consider sane limits
will probably not be enough for other legitimate uses.

Pipewire's services are only user services, you can override them by customized
ones that match your needs.
