There should be a very hard cap on how many paintings can inhabit a level

Also I tried to join and it did the same thing, but idk why because I didn't notice any particular cpu spike on my computer, so the lag must be server-side I reckon.

you basiccly have to load a level a couple times if there is 5 billion level paintings in it, in dont go wokes case, the first time you load up the level you get a gigantic lag spike upon startup and then you just get kicked due to that lag, there was a semi bandaid type patch that made it so that the game caches level paintings so you dont lag as much the second time you join, the first time though, is really bad
