Yeah I figured the part about being able to make really deep extrudes was probably deliberate, though it does look a bit "weird" in the UI because the arrow vanishes from the slider.

Really the only problem I have with it is that the tool to interactively set the bevel depth is unusable since it pops up the color editor for no reason, selects other objects or picks new tools while I'm trying to use it. However the workaround for that is to just use the slider in the toolbar, and doing that I don't have to remember the key combination to make the drag work on the bevel depth, so that works out just fine for me!
