If you agree to add a few months of development time and reduce future velocity to make sure these limits are enforced, sure. Usually adding storage costs about as much as 1 developer’s salary cost for what, an hour? A day?

It's not for saving storage. It's for making sure it will actually not overflow.

End number doesn't matter, what matters is developers thinking about how long data should be stored and what data should be stored.

Not doing that analysis and overprovisioning 4x will just cause disaster in 2 years instead of 6 months.
