So, one should not think that setting a worker's connection_pool_size to x would limit the web server to use no more than x threads for that worker? This was happening with peaks of every two hours or so, but I guess it depends on the site traffic.

I will let you know how the specific developer and operation person will react (though I doubt we will ever give a Thread Dump party), but again this is not the main priority at the moment. Also, I would not be happy to let the site hang again to take a thread dump - though I could fix the timeouts first maybe as you say below, and avoid another downtime.

It sounds fair some way.. and it's definitely what is needed to take a thread dump without killing everything..
