Recursion errors at scale

[alexander-held]

When running with sufficiently many files, we hit RecursionError during preprocessing. The solution to that should be CoffeaTeam/coffea#1079. Once that is fixed we'll need a new AB-dev image. cc @matthewfeickert: I assume we don't need a coffea tag to build an image in principle? It's not critical enough to warrant building the image before this is reviewed and merged though.

resolved with latest coffea https://github.com/CoffeaTeam/coffea/releases/tag/v2024.4.1 and propagated to the AB-dev image

Correct. We can always build anything from a Git repo commit hash as well.
