On a purely theoretical level, surely there are limits to that.

You should not be able to increase C_comp without bounds and
still have the same waveforms. The V-T waveforms, C_comp, and
the transistor drive strengths (from their I-V curves) ought to be a
consistent family, and stressing one of them while not changing
the others, eventually hits a wall.

Even if you don't stress it that far to make the algorithms break,
there's no guarantee that the waveforms wouldn't be affected by
even small changes in C_comp, when the load is anything other
than R_fixture to V_fixture.
