This is the single biggest crasher on all my servers. I get around ~4 crashes a day due to stringtable overflows.
This negatively affects my stock MvM server. I feel in the future with the addition of more items, the additional precaching will leave that server in an entirely unreliable state of constant crashing. *Please* do something about this, even if it requires breaking demo compatibility (which seems to already be happening with the number of people who tell me their demos are broken) or mountains of code to not break said compatibility. There are countless server operators out there that are also suffering from this, and we could really all benefit from a fix.
