The memory warning really is not applicable in 2019, the numerous crashes are much more serious.
Happily, flattening CID fonts never seems to fail—I ran it on hundreds of CID fonts and have not gotten any crashes. So just recommend that instead. Fixing the actual problem would take a long time and I doubt it would have any benefit over just flattening the CID fonts—that's my opinion after experimenting with this for a week or so.
