Well that's exactly what's going to happen when you limit the number of 
connections --- the hope is that with a reasonably large 
MonoMaxWaitingRequests it doesn't happen often.

Yes. (I did it myself...)

If you access a page during high load and see your browser waiting with 
no response for a while, that's MonoMaxWaitingRequest in action holding 
onto the request until it gets a chance to be processed.

Anything that will make your site process requests faster (which might 
involve improving mono like finding out why more concurrency causes 
problems, etc.).
