But I think most are pretty cranked in Dom3 at the moment. The last "wish it was more" limitation I remember had to do with lists of names.
Hrm...off hand, I can think of three internal limits that can frequently cause problems when running mods in conjunction.

1) Custom spell limit. There is actually quite little headroom here (a few dozen is all; not a problem for any single mod, but can definitely be an issue for a multi-mod nation game.)
2) Custom names - only 2 custom lists available explicitly; re-use of name lists restricted to nations from other eras (e.g. re-using Bogarus' lists) can get you a few more, depending on the era, but conflicts in name lists are very problematic (although not very game breaking.) Not to mention that this is the only way to guarantee a specific hero-name.
3) Custom sites. Admittedly, this is really only a problem if you use the magic site mod.

The limits for custom units, armor, weapons seem to have enough headroom to accommodate quite a few concurrent mods (even big ones such as CBM) without issues.
