It's the limit of serialization, not of ANTLR tool itself. It can be and should be fixed. I've fixed it by using int serialization with varying bytes count that depends on int value:
All changes are back-compatible excluding quite large lexers or parsers (with more than 32768 states). But actually, it does not matter as I've said before because of version check on runtime.
If it's okay for Java, I'll fix other runtimes as well.
Fixes #1863, #2732, #3338
The PR depends on #3488
