Where are you seeing that a queue has default memory limit of 64MB? If you don't change the broker system usage limits, then the memory limits for the entire broker is 64MB. This means all queues fall under this 64MB limit. If you don't consume from your DLQ, they will use up broker resources and potentially cause producer flow control on other destinations, which is probably what you're seeing.
