The change from (some) default to effective infinity is the crux of the
change. Because that is only a number.
(Thus I don't find the number's 12700% increase alone a big change.)

Actual maximum amount of processes is "workload dependent" and hence
should be determined based on the particular workload.

I thought you saw an issue with projection of that number into sizings
based on the default. Which of them comprises the large change in your
eyes?

Thanks,
