We can reduce OP_RETURN limits in a soft fork afaik.
This would cause a hard fork.

Limiting OP_RETURN size would be a soft fork.

Luke can also just make it a true chaintip fork, though. There's a nice integration point right here.
Bonus: if you do it without height threshold while implementing Luke's full definition of datacarrier as was recently explained here, you can even fork off those biblical texts someone put on the chain!

My understanding is that restrictions, a narrowing of something in consensus, can usually be implemented as a soft fork. But I'm now wondering if that just applies to opcodes.

You can do it if it's miner enforced. Is Ocean going to enforce it with 10-15EH?

A block mined on the current consensus might not get accepted by nodes with the new OP_RETURN limit, thus causing a chain split. All miners would have to also implement that limit.
