Warning when you're about to make LARGE scale changes in Geometry Nodes. I.e Density factors
TL;DR, a "are you sure you want to do this?" warning when making changes on the order of magnitude(s)
Playing around with dense scenes (nature etc), it's way too easy to accidentally crash blender because of a simple changes to things like Density.
For instance, I'm working on a large scene, and I changed the "Distribute Points on Faces" from Random to Poisson Disk, which... disconnected my density input node, and caused blender to try and calculate several orders of magnitude more points than I wanted.
Having a warning, kinda like a "Do you want to save before you quit", but for large geometry node changes (I,e orders of magnitude for density) would help stop crashes.

Yeah I would extend this to the hole system. for example blender recognizes when its working for too long on one operation. For example give you a warning that this is taking too long, so you can cancel the operation. There is also maybe a possibility to roughly calculate the time needed for the operation, so it warns you before calulating. I often have the problem that blender crashes when i remesh a wrongly scaled object.
This is a common blender problem.
