Thinking about this a little more, its a nice feature of HPACK that it can chose when to start using dynamic compression, with little overhead. 

My understanding though is that we can't use MAX_STREAMS to contorl concurrency like you describe (I'm probably wrong here). But from the transport document section 19.11

   do not describe the number of streams that can be opened
   concurrently.  The limit includes streams that have been closed as
   well as those that are open.
