Dankrad Feist acknowledges that the proposed 100x gas limit expansion in EIP-9698 could stress less-optimized Ethereum nodes and increase block propagation times, but argues that the gradual, deterministic growth schedule would give operators and developers sufficient time to adapt.

A rapid increase in the gas limit under his proposal may stress less-optimized nodes and increase block propagation times.
Feist acknowledged potential challenges, such as stress on less-optimized nodes and increased block propagation times, but argued that the gradual increments would give node operators and developers time to adapt and optimize.
