After some changes to the setup (extra inserters, belts, priority splitter overflow), the issue boiled down to a duplicate of 118644 Fluid transfer rates are capped even on directly connected entities as well.

You are right. This should be moved from pending to duplicated.

Regarding the idea of ...

This is a different case from what raiguard focuses on because there you are not hitting the 6k/s cap. Automated insertion limits for ingredients must be ...

As above, the buffer limit is too low to run without stall cycles up to 80% of machine time which causes pump fluctuations but also the recipe base is too high. It's confusing for beginners because there is no way to rely on UI values in this case.

This recipe should work well with chemical plants ...

As above, mostly because of low insertion limits or lubricant buffer limits. Similar recipes scale with the crafting speed like splitters or underground belts but this doesn't. Good to unify this aspect across the board.

Ok, someone else mentioned that all machines are limited to 4300 fluid/s input, and they are mostly correct.

I wrote automated stress tests for fluid blueprints and this is partially true. Depending on the number of inputs and outputs I have hit the machine's pipeline limits such as 6k/s or 9k/s ...

I don't use reactive armor with landmines, but many do based on blueprint stats on factorioprints and factorio.school. It should be postponed to 2.1 and rethought, but it should not break hundreds of game runs or even more.

There are two game places where it can be useful:
1. Control the thruster's speed or efficiency. Keep full speed in the solar system but slow down to survive the journey to the Solar system edge or Shattered planet.
2. For example easier light oil, and heavy oil management for rocket fuel factories ...

A similar problem is with acid neutralisation and steam condensation. Cryogenic plants cannot produce more than 2k water/s. There should be more proper implementation like functionality where machine-to-machine connection means 'unlimited' throughput. I assume that when a machine can produce 110k ...
