There is no problem with BQL limit going lower than the max packet size.

(With TSO it can be 64K)

Remember BQL allows one packet to be sent to device, regardless of its
size.

Next packet might be blocked/stay in Qdisc

If your workload is mostly idle, but sending bursts of 3 packets, then
only one is immediately sent.

Next packets shall wait the TX completion of first packet.
