2. Non-expiring sessions may cause OOM, but they cannot cause a stack overflow.

What are your evidences?

3. Increasing count of session does not mean that sessions do not expire.

Your evidence = ?

4. Sessions are expired by a background thread. If the thread is stuck
somewhere (e.g. doing auto-deployment work) it will affect expiration
of sessions.

Your thread dump = ?

By default there is one background thread that is shared by all
container levels in Tomcat,  but you can configure a separate one in
each container (container = Context, Host or Engine).

5. Web bots that do not support cookies may generate multiple sessions.
