I posted this to LessWrong as well, and one of the commenters there mentions the “performance / robustness stability tradeoff in controls theory”. Is that the same as what you’re thinking of?
Reminds me of the result in queueing theory, where (in the simplest queue model) going above ~80% utilisation of your capacity leads to massive increases in waiting time.
