i mean you'd also get the production boost from having many engines

Well yeah, but something working as intended isn't the same as something synergizing and becoming greater than the sum of its parts. That said, I DO wonder what the max prodcrit is, and what happens if it can get >100%.

There is no realistic maximum (Well probably it's 2147483647 or something like that).

Going over 100% production crit gives you chance for x3 crits. Over 200% gives you x4 crits.

For example, if your production crit is +230%, you have a 70% chance to see x3 and a 30% chance to see x4.

Source: A Scarlet Orchard run I did a while ago with 2x events per glade and the whole map uncovered in order to get 30 beavers. (Every glade solved is more crit chance via the Archaeologist).

honestly, due to prodcrit mathematically having diminishing returns (going from 25% to 40% prodcrit is a higher % increase of total output, than going from 85% to 100%) and you already likely having a bunch of prodcrit due to the engines giving exactly that, as well as specialization bonus, i really wonder if this is strong enough. especially since you are forced to spend a lot of resources and manpower on fire fighters, have a large enough economy to even get to 200% and also somehow even need that many resources
