Here the question becomes "do you tune for impossible-to-reach
positions or do you tune for real games?"

Captures are by definition self-limiting anyway.  If you chop the captures off
at some arbitrary point you have to fudge the score since it will be
incorrect if you just stop at some arbitrary ply.  And stopping at the wrong
point can be backed up to the root if you are not careful, leading to blunders.
