Hm.  The leaf hash entries are 8 bytes long, whereas I think directory
entries occupy at least 16 bytes.  Is there a situation where the number
of dir leaf/dabtree blocks can actually hit the 32G section size limit?

I calculated the exact expression here, and got:

2^26 + 2^26 + (2^26/224) = 134,517,321

This requires 28 bits of space, doesn't it?

Granted I bet the leaf section won't come within 300,000 nextents of the
2^26 you've assumed for it, so I suspect that in real world scenarios,
27 bits is enough.  But if you're anticipating a totally full leaf
section under extreme fragmentation, then MAXDIREXTNUM ought to be able
to handle that.

(Assuming I did any of that math correctly. ;))
