As per Adam's suggestion you can apply the policy lower down in the
tree of physical port > VLAN/service instance > individual traffic
class. Also you could match based on service instance in a parent
policy applied at the interface level. There's often more than way to
to achieve the same result.

Spyros mentioned about over-buffering. I don't see any problem with
this, with "queue-limit percent 100" the IOS resource manager will
allocate more buffers to the port as requried (as throughput
increases) and de-allocated them when they aren't need, otherwise you
couldn't have more than one traffic class on the entire switch with
"queue-limit percent 100" configured. The idea/approach I use is that
the command can be applied everywhere and just let the ASIC handle it.
This has removed tail-drops for us without any further issues or
repercussions.

Cheers,
James.
