So I started looking into extending the buffer size as another 'first step'
towards the protocol version 2 again. But now I think the packed length
limit of 64k is actually a good and useful thing to have and should be
extended/fixed if and only if we run into serious trouble with too small
packets later.

I tend to agree.  Too large a packet size would mean your latency
would also suck, as pkt-line interface will not give you anything
until you read the entire packet.  The new protocol should be
designed around a reasonably sized packets, using multiple packets
to carry larger payload as necessary.
