The only conceivable upgrade would be to make the basic machinery more efficient. The current embodiment no where nears the device limit.

The limit on throughput is the current fiber limit of say, 10 ter/sec.

The cost advantage is 10 to 1 cheaper than the WDM equivalent. As WDM approaches its technological limit, cost comparisons are meaningless, since tweaked SR operates way above any theoretical WDM implementation.

No fire hazard. The heat issue has nothing to do with combustive explosion of the equipment. Future installments will clarify this. Tell me, do the vacuum tube heaters in old superheterodyne receivers pose a fire hazard? Similar issue.
