Maybe combining some of the suggested disadvantages for the tech that is developed in the first decade of the project... everything beyond this time is "deep infinity" and can be sorted out later.
(the exact numbers are still open to discussion)
Proposed limits:
Limit 1 makes it absolutely necessary to have good teachers for the quicklearned skills to make full usage of the whole thing. Limit 2 is more a technical thing, but one that cannot be resolved that easy without decades of research. Limit 3 makes "genius from nothing" a risky thing.
What do you think?

Proposed limits:
- The tech does implant foreign memories and 'skills', so it needs time to integrate the skills to your own memory. Because of this its more like a "speed up/quick-learning" tech than an "instant knowledge". The percentage of the normal learning time is determined by the amount of physical action and understanding a skill would need. Pure 'fact memorization' can be done very quickly (down to 5% original learning time?), skill that require understanding can be learned faster (10%-20% original time?), skills that require lots of physical interaction are just assisted in the learning process (25%-50% learning time?).
- The original technology was mostly used on catgirls by the Boskones, CI developed on it purely for catgirls. Because of this the technology works not as good for other biomods or unmodded humans. For some it creates headaches, others risk even brain damage when using it often. Adaptation and optimization might allow to lessen the side effects for some 'users', but not for all of them.
- "Not 100%." Quicklearned facts and skills might be not complete. Learning such skilles based on other quicklearned skills without working with the skills enough increase the chance filling your brain with a lot of useless and very distracting memory fragments.
Limit 1 makes it absolutely necessary to have good teachers for the quicklearned skills to make full usage of the whole thing. Limit 2 is more a technical thing, but one that cannot be resolved that easy without decades of research. Limit 3 makes "genius from nothing" a risky thing.
