Have you actually tried a system which can work in either overcommit
and non-overcommit modes?

What it comes down to is that if you have enough memory to run in
non-overcommit, you have enough memory to run in overcommit.

Setting limits is complex, but it is no more complex than correctly
sizing the memory in a non-overcommit system (this is demonstrable).
