I believe that the way sqm-scripts simple.qos and simplest.qos use the
HTB shaper are not subject to this specific issue (we do not configure/allow
HTB to burst at all). Looking at a number of my speed tests seems to support
this observation (https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/636817 simplest.qos,
HTB+fq_codel no initial bursting).
