Comment (by dd32):

 > In the best scenario, the tail of the table is occupied with transients.

 This angle is mostly mitigated by the fact that the fields which are
 marked as `disabled`/`readonly` (as fields with serialised data in them
 are) are not submitted to a server in a POST request.

 Since the all-options page is mostly a hidden power-tool, an option may be
 to simply disable the submit process when the number of active fields
 exceeds that of `max_input_vars`.
 Another option would be to simply use JS to only send changed fields to
 the server.
