i think it's time to try player caps.

Echoing all of Zamu’s points. Also we’ve spent several years (at least on the admin side) intermittently considering player caps and deciding “actually no let’s not, it’ll make x happen and be bad because of y and z”, and have seen the results of that, so why not actually try player caps on our main servers for real, so we can actually have concrete data on how player caps affect the servers and the player experience.
