This is only to counter worst-case attack scenarios which do not happen in a realistic scenario. Like >100 collisions.

Robin Hood or its better cousin Hopscotch hashing, which was forgotten here, counter that scenario much better, with only ~1-3% performance loss on average in the best case, and much better perf. numbers in the average write-heavy case, where their "move to front" strategy pays off. And they have the worst case scenario also covered, unlike all others.
