There are various reasons why one might take a full table on a switch
with not not enough FIB, the important part of course being the part
where you don't install them all.
I have taken a full bgp feed on an broadcom based Arista.
with respect to what happens if you don't filter them.
Either you get continuous fib churn and you only get to forward to the
routes you currently have installed at that time (this is if you're
lucky) or it explodes and you get to keep the pieces.
