Meaning you might be navigating through the show list and suddenly the
list entirely disappears, pauses while the reload happens, and then you
have to start navigating again from the top of the hierarchy?

Agreed, that would be disruptive, but once you've exceeded the memory
threshold, the reality is equally disruptive: you're navigating through
the show list and suddenly mvpmc puts up a partially rendered "please
wait" dialog and hangs, your only recourse is to power cycle, and then
you have to start navigating again from the top of the hierarchy.

Agreed. Though more code to accomplish that, and performing the
duplicate checks will probably slow down loading the show list.

In any case, handling the refresh problem doesn't go far enough once
you've exceeded a second capacity threshold. If I don't "hide" a portion
of my show database from mvpmc, even a single copy of the show database
loaded into memory causes the UI to slow down to be barely usable, and
it impacts playback such that it is very difficult to achieve audio sync.

So if I was prioritizing between these two hypothetical enhancement, I'd
consider filtering on recording group to be far more useful.
