It doesn't sound like Zebra facets breaks anything. Rather it's super
suboptimal for very large resultsets, so the optimisation would be to turn off
Zebra facets.

(Arguably you could also say the optimisation is to switch to Elasticsearch,
yes?)

I don't have benchmarks at hand, but I want to say that historically enabling
Zebra facets had large performance increases for small to medium sized
libraries. It's been too long for me to recall with certainty though. Maybe the
thing we cared about most at that time was that Zebra facets provided facets
for the full result set, rather than just the top of the result set (like the
naive Koha facets do).
