Yes, I worry about this.  The fixed sized turnsheets had their problems but
they did stop the "buy the game" winner.

With legends there are stages where it makes no sense to use more orders
but for the very large positions in the latter stages of the game, the
restricted number of orders made things a real challenge and left smaller
players in with a chance.

I think that order numbers should still be capped in some manner, related
to the size of your postion (characters + forces).  This is what the old
turn sheets achieved but had the downside of large wastage when you initially
moved up to a larger turn sheet.
