We can add as many zeros as needed below the satoshi level. This would happen if the value of a satoshi increases enough to jeopardize the micropayment feature by reducing liquidity too much. Adding new zeros would not be inflationary in the sense that the distribution of bitcoin wealth would not change. There would be no Cantillon effect because that only occurs when currency / liquidity is created unevenly by some actors at the expense of others.

Back in 2008- floating point numbers in C++ maxed out at 8 significant digits for consistent conversion to int.
Sometime around 2016 GoLang added a number variable type called BigFloat… since then there a figuratively no human limitations on how many zeros can go after the decimal. 😁
