That’s a good point, and you certainly can’t trust the developers to consider what the infrastructure can handle. They just want to sell houses. IMO, the strain on infrastructure is an easier problem to deal with in the long run. Upzoning discussions are so fraught, whereas if sewage is overflowing I feel like it’s pretty easy to get people on board with upgrading the sewer system.

And you are right about that. That a conversation about upgrading a sewer system is way easier to navigate then getting a bunch NMBY folks to agree to higher density and change. So hopefully it passes and it will have the desired effect. Its probably better then trying nothing and complaining that its still broke.
