Is this likely to break anything in practice?  Nah.  But it would nice

So I go the other way: what *I* would like to avoid is odd code that
is hard to follow. I'd much rather make the code be simple and the
rules be straightforward, and not introduce that complicated
"different address limits" thing at all.

Then, _if_ we ever find a case where it makes a difference, we could
go the more complex route. But not first implementation, and not
without a real example of why we shouldn't just keep things simple.
