The router will complain, and I think TAC won't support it very well
if that is the case, but it will not in my experience shut down any
interfaces or refuse to run.

It basically tells you that you're oversubscribing the bus, and can
have problems, but as you note, if you aren't pushing near the full
capacity, you probably won't overuse the bus.
