Here's what I had found out about some of the limits. I'd already posted this on discord a while back, but it'll be good to have it here too.

Loading Screens: only the first 90 will unlock. There are 54 by default. You can add 36.
Concept Art: only the first 90 will unlock. There are 90 by default. You can't add any more.
Comic Covers: only the first 90 will unlock. 15 by default. You can add 75 more.
Cutscenes/Movies: only the first 90 will unlock. 16 by default. You can add 74 more.
The Totals page in the in-game Reviews Menu only counts the first 90 for each and don't count the ones past the 90 limit. Same for concept art, but the 12 online ones (that actually unlock) and the 30 Blur ones (that unlock after getting all the standard ones) aren't included in the totals.

Updated. Thanks!

It turns out the main menu and in-game Review menus have different comic cover limits.
For the main menu Reviews menu, you can have up to 90 and they will unlock fine and be viewable just fine.
For the in-game Reviews menu, if you have more than 21 comic covers unlocked and try to look at the in-game Review menu's comic cover page, the game will crash.
So, you can only add 6 more if you still want to be able to view the comic covers in-game and not have to avoid the in-game comic cover page of the Review menu and only be able to view them on the main menu's Reviews menu's comic cover page.

There is a limit of 15 talents in talents. This includes everything in the talents file, including passives and talents that are labeled as hidden.
