Second (major), when the limit is exceeded, qpsmtpd hangs. A few hours ago, my logs show that I was at 29/30 and 30/30 quite steady, and then everything suddently stopped. For whatever reason, forkserver would not complete or let go of the 31 connections it already had, and would not accept any more. I had to restart the service to recover.
I suspect that the only reason you hit the limit was because some plugin was not returning. I suspect that qpsmtpd wasn't actually hanging, it just wasn't accepting more connections.
qpsmtpd has a long-standing problem that timeouts are not applied to plugins, only to core qpsmtpd code.
