Worst case scenario can be between the extremes of..
Every block is full, equals about 200 GB of data per year. A 2 TB drive will be full within the next 3 or 4 years and then time to upgrade to a 4 or 8TB
Or
No inscriptions, or even op returns... maximum number of utxos.. still between 1mb and 4mb per block, but increasing thousands of utxos per block.. with valid financial dust transaction outputs.
Point is that the utxo problem can occur no matter what, and needs separate disincentive. Eg. No hourly dca as utxos, keep it custodial in lightning or exchange and withdraw as lightning or larger utxo. Educate on common sense utxo sizes or 1,000,000 sets or higher. Samourai support for 100,000 is just as much of an attack as sphinx 100,000 sat channels. Main chain needs to be done with care. Every TX should be 3+ inputs, 2+ outputs
