I am not sure a fork bomb would run you out of pids or not anymore with the new limit.
at 16 pages per forked process the 4M pids takes 256G of ram (to just exist), and I really doubt that even a fork bomb will only use a 16 pages per process additional, so the fork bomb is more likely to now OOM/swap the machine to death.
