Thanks to Andrea and Hans.
I thinks this:
'TeX capacity exceeded' means 'Is your code good ?'
Perhaps using some sort of preprocessing or \executesystemcommand
should be a better solution (at cost of speed I believe).
Or perhaps actual distros are made for single-user not-hungry and not
for big-documents on-demand , so hash size is conservative,
so "increase the hash size and remake the format" IS the solution.
