If I understood correctly, the only really
safe thing to do when confronted with the prompt is answer "Yes",
because otherwise you risk a crash, after which you can not undo the
last command anyway.
That reasoning is based on the idea that the smallest risk of a crash
outweights anything else. I don't make my judgments that way. I
usually answer no to these questions.
there was indeed a bug where Emacs generated lots of undo info during
a single command and crashed, and the only fix I could see was to
discard the undo info. So I don't think turning off the question is a
good default.
However, we could probably substantially increase the size threshold.
If we multiply it by 10, it might still be good enough to prevent a
problem, but it might rarely be encountered when there is no problem.
