I agree, but I also think this is a problem that corrects itself.

With bandwidth throttling and connection limits, this means that your
peers won't be able to get through to you. They'll remove that ref,
and go on to another node. This will naturally take the burden off a
particular node, down to the level of its ability to respond.

I agree, but I also think that you do your architecture a
disservice. Given time, it is remarkably adaptive. In my sexperience,
nodes tend to "settle"* into a healthy routing table within a week or
so.
I guess I'm concerned that linear meddling in the non-linear process
will only make the settling mechanism less robust.
