Isn't that enough? See my earlier comments about this in this thread. systemd will nowadays set the hard limit for RLIMIT_NOFILE to 512K for all services, and that'll be inherited down to all sessions. Hence, any program that during its startup phase bumps the RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit to the hard limit should have no issues with numbers of fds anymore, it may allocate a whipping 512K of them just like that. (But should still take care to reset the soft limit to 1024 again when forking off foreign code.)
