i am not sure what you are arguing, but if user frequently run into it.. it seems hostile?

if you have a paid tier which offers more, you do you

if this is internally and you are a service provider to people.. why?

also 256 is not much today, my mac with a few things open is at 800

800 running a desktop environment, iCloud syncing, tons of background programs (wallpaper manager is one! Another for keyboard brightness, probably)

Compared to someone on an ssh connection. No desktop, no Apple Account, no user session programs, etc. You really don’t need much

i mean you wrote yourself that users are frequently running into this..

i do not know why/in which context you are running this, and how frequently your users are executing forkbombs(i assume school/kids?)

my server is also running 400 something processes, one postgres instance alone is like 40?

Are all those processes 1 UID?

It might seem hostile to one user, it's not to the other 20-40 trying to get work done on a login node with runaway processes.
