We can always burn tokens but we can't create anymore

That's only half true, because you may create new token to replace the current one. I don't know if it would be possible to replace the token with the same name LBI as the, but there's an option of creating LBI2 on the table if the situation is dire enough.

Edit:
I'm a fan of a hardcapping but it doesn't really mean we can't have a softcap with let's say 50k LBI (+plus according content team reward portion) left in ice for 6 months or so.
