I think this definitely makes sense to do.

I'm afraid of unexpected performance degradation. When the system runs fine,
you provision a VM of some vCPU\RAM, and then some backend uses a little more
than 64 subtransactions and all the system is stuck. Or will it affect only
backend using more than 64 subtransactions?
