I think it would be cool if a project had a self-imposed token count limit. The project would never be allowed to grow more than X tokens long.

Then you can guarantee the project is small and haiku-like forever!

LWIP started off small, and it grew...

The "smol" in "smoltcp" is mostly talking about the internal architecture and exposed API. For example, it will never support true zero-copy sockets, because the API burden due to restricting itself to safe Rust is too high.

I don't think any TCP/IP implementation is going to be "haiku-like", the protocol stack is way too messy.
