Can't they raise the capacity of the stringtable to compensate?

They do sometimes, but that doesn't seem to help with random-other-table overflows.

Valve should probably increase the size of the Scenes table, though. If enough players use the new taunts, Scenes fills up entirely, and incorrect animations start getting played.

With how much stuff (hats) they shove into the game, they really need to raise those caps quite high, to give server owners some headroom for content. I don't even host that much on my server. I have about 6 custom MvM maps, and about 4 plugins that actually introduce content, and in total I have approximately 25 new sounds, plus exactly 5 models, and about 15 new textures. (I originally had way more, but I had stripped a lot away, and the crashes are just as frequent.)

that is 100% true, I noticed on 1 server a spy bot was idling but doing the conga animation.
