I would say that "too much healing = no suffering" and no suffering, in the end, means no social life: just a bunch of individuals who care for no one except their own benefits. Living individuals, not dead cannibals. Please mind you, also, I say 'in the end', after some years of plague or maybe a couple of generations, not after a month. Let's hope that, in my glorantha, player characters would stop or change the healing plague long before that!
