That discussion never really concluded.

What we have is MUST support 8192, but no upper limit (other than the
hard 65535 byte limit imposed by the frame length field size).

You might infer from this that 8192 is the only safe upper limit,
especially for frames containing headers.  Other frames might trigger
RST_STREAM, but at least you don't lose the session.
