A quick extrapolation re space is to take rendered zl18 tile size, in total, and multiply by 4. If someone can provide the zl18 number ...
It seems reasonable to expect zl19 tiles to be of most interest in urban areas with high POI density, as those areas tend to drop display data due to labeling/feature densities. While it is possible that a bot could cause all zl19 tiles to be rendered and consume significant tile cache space, if this has not happened to date on the existing tile server then it will likely not happen with zl19 either. Be aware that code changes may be required to support higher zoom levels as I have a vague, and quite likely outdated, recollection of arrays in mapnik (?) and/or the rendering stack needing expansion.
