As long as they aren't using third party tools, I doubt SE will do anything to individual accounts.

I can see them implementing daily server restarts in Endwalker to give players stuck in long queues a chance to play regardless of the number who are just AFK.

They won't have something to do if they're stuck in hours long queues because other players are using the exploits to stay logged in while AFK. World capacity isn't really an issue right now (those <5 min log in queues aren't due to world capacity) but it will be when everyone wants to play on December 3rd.
