I presume this is only a fix for a hypothetical issue, _if_ echo would be a native windows executable and not the msys2/cygwin one which bypasses the limit?

Yes, trying to address edge cases.

Does this instance even work, it looks broken, like it is missing something?

Tested both static and shared building. All working with no noticeable speed difference although I didn't formally bench.

Wouldn't this be quite significantly slow on msys2, where process creation is much slower than on unix? I think it's not worth to make things that much slower (which I only guess here) to fix a hypothetical issue.
