My shelves were sagging, but I reinforced them with more wood. I had to replace one complete shelf in the past because it cracked.
I moved them to the shorter shelves since those are much less likely to bend.
Here is where they used to be, you can see the shelf on the top I had to replace, as well as the thicker reinforcement that was really needed.
This was back when I had 33 gallons of oil (I think this was my highest).

For one, I don't beleive an a "new greatest oil". Second, if that point did ever come, I would keep using an oil that does what is supposed to for 1/5 or less the price.
SN will be relevant for the next 10+ years for most vehicles on the road, except for TGDI engines, which I have no plans to own any time in the next decade.
If you get a new car every 3 years it could possibly become an issue, but every vehicle I change oil on is fine with even SM oil, some even SJ, so SN/SN+ will be just fine for me for a long time.
It also depends on how many vehicles, oil capacity, and the OCI. If you have one vehicle and do 1-2 oil changes a year with 4qts per change, then yeah, a 100+ qt stash makes no sense, but some change a lot of oil.
I use around 45-50 qts a year on the 7 vehicles I regularly change on, so my "huge" stash is barely 2 years worth.
