Modern Monetary Theory tells us that the important limits are "when you run out of Labor" and "when you run out of resources".

I don't know about other central banks but The Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan have been trying to raise inflation for years now, interest rate cuts are not as effective when inequality is high because it just leads to asset bubbles. It's time for fiscal policy to direct spending to productive areas.
