I'm fully with you on -o inode64, but I would think it is not inode number that becomes large with extensive use of hard links, but the space used by directory data, thus requiring to relocate these once they exceed some size so ultimately some of them will be pushed beyond 1 TB border (depending on how the filesystem is used).
