leaving unrelated comments about pruning/history, but the blobcount flags look correct

Setting 0 would mean downloading the full chain. shouldnt we bump this to like 20000000 or higher? (currently at 23.7m on mainnet)

Digging a little further, does it make sense to prune history with this flag
and maybe we need a pruning trigger too? not clear to me if pruning will happen without one? (doesn't seem right that it wouldn't unless this is set, so maybe i don't understand, maybe its the difference between in-memory pruning vs full pruning, which is what hybrid offers)

Looks like reth defaults to no pruning (archive node), we should fix that or we'll eat everyone's disk if they swap to reth

I have a new concern about this. IIUC, an update was made to allow a CL to fetch blobs from a local ELs mempool. analysis showed that 30-70% of all blobs get imported this way depending on the client. Disabling the blobpool may hurt performance more than we gain from not proposing blobs in the rare case of a local block. Maybe nethermind will separate this behaviours into a different flag. we probably shouldn't turn on this feature if my concern is valid, will try and dig up the reference i remember on twitter.

NethermindEth/nethermind#9686. Nethermind addressed this for us :D --Blocks.BlockProductionBlobLimit option
