You don’t need to worry about throttling dollar volume. Instead, you can just use a system like Optimistic Rollups use - build your system so withdrawals are delayed to give others time to submit fraud proofs. A successful fraud proof submission gives you a bounty and stops an invalid withdraw.

Yea, again, very complex and experimental technology. Now the entire blockchain you are bridging to needs to be written in an experimental VM technology which is being developed real time by dudes on twitter. And this Solana hack was a VM issue on Solana. That vm issue would presumably be present in whatever was running the fraud proofs on the other side. Rollups are only useful if the scenario you are worried about is a 51% attack
