Rich,
that looks ok.
You can try to increase the stack.for example

stack_size = 20000      % simultaneous input sources


Put this into a file /usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf.cnf

Create it, if not present. The main system configuration file is in 
.../texmf-dist/web2c/
but should not be touched.

Then run

fmtutil-sys --all

(maybe as root)
